Finally looked somewhat mortal this week, but this team is still ridiculously strong. |

Can't wait to see this team with Riley. |

Even though it never looked bad, that Duke loss looks a lot better now and that is the only blemish here. |
7 |

Led late against two teams in the top 5. Just have to figure out how to close (or to find a 7th man) |
8 |

Not a great loss against Dayton, but the Michigan State win looks better now. Kansas will be fine. |
9 |

Not sure i see them as the 9th best team, but the Wildcats have been rolling. |

Texas is an interesting case, but all of the pieces are there. |

Nowhere to go but up for the Hogs after staying unbeaten. |

Have to reward wins. And BYU has a few solid ones (and no losses). |
13 |

Tough loss against Wisconsin but Houston has impressed me nonetheless. |
14 |

For my money, the most impressive looking team in Atlantis. |
15 |

Florida has been incredibly surprising with a stout defense leading to an undefeated start. |
16 |

While Florida has been surprising, no one has been more surprising than Iowa State. Incredible start. |

Neck and neck with Auburn, but honestly ranks 9-17 are dart throws at this point in the season. |

Time will tell if that Iowa State game is a monumental let down or a temporary set back. Memphis has the talent though, that much is obvious |
19 |

Still trying to figure this team out, but they look solid so far. Can't wait for conference play to see if the Trojans are for real again. |

Bama feels like a team who could beat anyone but lose a game to someone like Iona. Wait. |
21 |

Maui champs. Could be even higher. |
22 |

Tough loss against Ohio State, but they have played well all season. |
23 |

Big win against Seton Hall. Michigan probably belongs here, but hey, they don't have a good win yet. |
24 |

LSU with a defense is a scary thought, but they haven't looked like world beaters either. |
25 |

Undefeated. We'll see how long they can maintain that. |
