Submitted on Monday, March 8, 2021 at 12:47AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
(-) [DROPPED: 25. St. Bonaventure] |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
(+1) Yeah, so Baylor's back and they're just fine. |
| 3 |
Michigan
|
(-1) Kind of an awful week for Michigan after 2 losses. They'll stay top 3 due to the massive lead they held against rest of teams last week |
| 4 |
Illinois
|
(+1) After two top 5 wins, Illinois is locked into a 1-seed in the tournament and a no-brainer for the top 4 in the polls. |
| 5 |
Iowa
|
(+4) So, my bad on being late to ranking Iowa top 5. They deserve it and only proved that further last week. |
| 6 |
Alabama
|
+1 |
| 7 |
Houston
|
+1 |
| 8 |
Oklahoma State
|
(+2) OkSt just keeps on rolling. They went 2-1 this week with the wins against OU and WVU and the sole loss only being to Baylor. |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
(-5) WVU is still a fantastic team, obviously. They just lost, is all. |
| 10 |
Ohio State
|
(-4) Same as WVU. OSU is still good, but losses are losses. |
| 11 |
Kansas
|
(+1) Ok, so yeah, Kansas played UTEP last week and squeaked by to win by 5. I'm gonna chalk that up to a freak occurrence. |
| 12 |
Arkansas
|
+1 |
| 13 |
Texas
|
(+6) Only been two weeks since I said it's time to panic about Texas. I feel like I owe an apology over how wrong I was. They're just fine. |
| 14 |
San Diego State
|
+4 |
| 15 |
Loyola Chicago
|
(+7) Loyola is one of the first teams to punch in an auto-bid after winning Arch Madness. This team is better than good. |
| 16 |
Florida State
|
(-2) A 20-point road loss to Notre Dame out of nowhere is worrying for sure... but I think overreacting to it would be a mistake. |
| 17 |
Purdue
|
+5 |
| 18 |
Villanova
|
(-2) Villanova finally got the good win they needed... then went and lost to Providence. |
| 19 |
Creighton
|
(-4) A small drop for the loss to Nova. |
| 20 |
Texas Tech
|
-3 |
| 21 |
Virginia Tech
|
-1 |
| 22 |
Virginia
|
-1 |
| 23 |
Colorado
|
+1 |
| 24 |
Oklahoma
|
(-13) Two weeks ago, OU was 6th in my poll and sitting at 14-5. They're now 14-9 coming off a 4-game loss streak. They're close to dropping. |
| 25 |
Oregon
|
(NR) The recently crowned Pac-12 champions won two nice games and end the regular season at 18-5. |
