Submitted on Monday, November 24, 2014 at 7:12AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
I don't know how you can rank them anywhere other than #1 after their dominating performance against Kansas. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Solid wins over Michigan State and Stanford, Wisconsin coming up. |
| 3 |
Arizona
|
Fun matchup with Gonzaga on the horizon. |
| 4 |
Wisconsin
|
Won't know too much until the Duke game. |
| 5 |
Louisville
|
Solid win over Minnesota |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
No real challenges yet, That ends this week against Butler, then Iowa. |
| 7 |
Texas
|
Off to a great start, two solid wins so far. The UConn & Kentucky games will be fun to watch. |
| 8 |
Wichita State
|
Off to a good start, managed to setup a quality non-conference schedule. |
| 9 |
Virginia
|
GW has to count as a good win this early in the season. |
| 10 |
Kansas
|
Poor performance against Kentucky, either Kentucky is the best team in decades, or Kansas isn't that great at this point in the season. |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
The VCU game will be telling for next week's rankings |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
Good win over SMU, Georgian, Arizona, and UCLA coming up. |
| 13 |
VCU
|
The Villanova game will be very telling for next week. I realize that it has been played by the time this is released. |
| 14 |
Iowa State
|
Non-conference schedule is bleh, so far so good. |
| 15 |
San Diego State
|
Win over Utah looks good, no big non-con challenges but definitely chances to trip up. |
| 16 |
Florida
|
Loss to Miami hurts, along with the overtime victory over Louisiana Monroe. Need to get it together for G-Town and Kansas. |
| 17 |
UConn
|
The Texas game will be fun. The loss the West Virginia isn't great, but isn't an unreasonable loss. |
| 18 |
Oklahoma
|
Loss to Creighton hurts, but the Century Link is a very tough place to play. Let's see if they bounce back against UCLA. |
| 19 |
Ohio State
|
No real chances to move up big until Louisville. |
| 20 |
Michigan
|
Let's see how the games against Oregon and Syracuse shape up. |
| 21 |
Michigan State
|
Loss to Duke isn't bad, but they wont have any real challenges until conference play. |
| 22 |
UCLA
|
Potent offense so far against cupcakes. Let's see how they do against Oklahoma. |
| 23 |
Miami (FL)
|
Florida win is great, solid in other games too. |
| 24 |
Stanford
|
Couldn't really be expected to beat Duke. |
| 25 |
Nebraska
|
Away OT loss to Rhode Island isn't horrible, but probably shouldn't be ranked, but most everyone in my previous #20-30 had a loss. |
