RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Win over Duke gets them to #1
2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Win over Kansas gets them to #2
3 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Unlike the Top 2, hasn't had a true quality win yet, but they're a good team and Georgetown is no cupcake.
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova Another quality team who has yet to be truly tested.
5 University of Arizona Logo Arizona See #4
6 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Ditto
7 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Loss to Michigan State hurts them, but not much.
8 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Second best team in the Big 12, which is a competitive conference. They could go far.
9 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Another good decent team.
10 Duke University Logo Duke Lost to UK by 11, which wouldn't drop them too much by itself. Then they barely beat VCU and Georgetown, who they should easy handle.
11 University of Virginia Logo Virginia I don't care if it's a road game, you need to beat George Washington if you want to stay in the Top 10
12 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Good team out of Big 10, possible sleeper
13 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame I like this Notre Dame team. They have a potential to go far this year.
14 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina That loss to UNI hurts a lot. Let's see if it's just a fluke.
15 University of California, Berkeley Logo California Good team out of Pac-12, a real sleeper.
16 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Wins over Utah and Butler - impressive.
17 University of Connecticut Logo UConn Strong wins against bad teams. Will move up if they play well in Atlantis.
18 George Washington University Logo GW Impressive win over Virginia, but some other games were too close.
19 Purdue University Logo Purdue Quality Big 10 team, another sleeper out of there
20 Xavier University Logo Xavier They beat Michigan. That counts for something.
21 Vanderbilt University Logo Vanderbilt Good team out of SEC, don't forget about them just because of Kentucky
22 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Don't forget about the Mountaineers either.
23 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Blown out all opponents but none were good teams. Butler game in a couple weeks is first real test.
24 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa Win over UNC is huge, but to be ranked higher, they can't lose to Colorado State.
25 Western Illinois University Logo Western Illinois Win over Wisconsin is impressive still a week later. Don't ignore them just yet.
