2 | Arizona | +1 |
3 | Auburn | -2 |
4 | Purdue | +2 |
5 | Kentucky | -1 H2H keeps the Wildcats above the Jayhawks for now |
6 | Kansas | +1 |
7 | Duke | -2 Got jumped by some other teams |
8 | Texas Tech | +6 |
9 | Villanova | +2 |
10 | Houston | 0 |
11 | Baylor | -2 The 10-point loss to TTU drops them a bit, but eventually not TOO much |
12 | Providence | -4 They'd be much lower had they not beaten Butler |
13 | USC | -1 And a more convincing win against WSU would've raised them more |
14 | UCLA | -1 |
15 | Wisconsin | +1 |
16 | Arkansas | +7 |
17 | Tennessee | -2 Beating Kentucky gives you plenty of wiggle room, even after a bad road loss |
18 | Illinois | -1 Likewise, this is the same for Illinois |
19 | Murray State | +1 |
20 | UConn | NEW |
21 | Saint Mary's | NEW |
22 | Rutgers | NEW Maybe a bit too high, but hard NOT to see them outside the Top 25 by this point |
23 | Notre Dame | NEW Should've beat Wake if they wanted to be higher, but things are chaotic, so they make it anyway |
24 | Ohio State | -6 Going 1-1 instead of 0-2 allows them to stick in the Top 25, unlike MSU |
25 | Boise State | NEW |
