3 Villanova University Logo Villanova Flying under the radar, but looking very good.
4 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Beat Kansas - looking very solid.
5 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Big upset by giant-killers UNI knock the Tar Heels back a couple spots.

7 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Dominating teams that aren't that great.

9 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Aside from the loss at George Washington, this team has looked good.
10 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Solid squad throughout.
11 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland I don't really get the hype around this team. They look good, but I don't know how good, really.
12 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Most of these next few teams are just moving with the ebb and flow of the teams around them.
13 University of California, Berkeley Logo California See Arizona. Solid squad throughout.
14 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Yogi Ferrell is the cornerstone of this team. He does well, this team does well.

16 Vanderbilt University Logo Vanderbilt I have these guys finishing second in the SEC, and I don't doubt him.

20 University of Utah Logo Utah Their only loss was a shellacking at a very good Miami team.

24 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Looking very good so far.
25 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa Upsetting number 1 earns them a spot in my ballot.
