| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Oklahoma
|
|
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
They nearly lost to Oakland at basically a home game for them. That drops them to #2 for now. When Valentine comes back; who knows. |
| 3 |
Xavier
|
Good road win against a solid oppnent |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
|
| 5 |
South Carolina
|
Anytime you win a road game, that's a solid achievement. SC won by 14 on the road to a team that has an above .500 record. Not easy. |
| 6 |
SMU
|
They beat a solid Colorado team, but they probably should have won by a wider margin at home for a top 10 team. |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 8 |
Virginia
|
|
| 9 |
Arizona
|
|
| 10 |
Louisville
|
Only lost by 2 in a very hostile environment. UK would probably lose by 10 @ Louisville. |
| 11 |
Texas A&M
|
Massive win @ Baylor last week. |
| 12 |
West Virginia
|
|
| 13 |
Purdue
|
|
| 14 |
Iowa State
|
Iowa State had an extremely solid win at a very tough environment. They need to prove they are real with a win @ Oklahoma on Saturday. |
| 15 |
Kentucky
|
They have to beat Louisville by more than 2 points at home. All that shows me is that Louisville is a better team. |
| 16 |
Miami (FL)
|
|
| 17 |
Maryland
|
Best win? 3 loss UCONN who has beaten no one? Rider? Georgetown by 4 @ home? Based on the court alone, Maryland is overrated. |
| 18 |
Providence
|
|
| 19 |
Butler
|
|
| 20 |
Duke
|
|
| 21 |
Utah
|
Big win against Duke last week. |
| 22 |
Baylor
|
|
| 23 |
Texas
|
|
| 24 |
Colorado
|
Only lost @ SMU by 4. However, they needed that win badly for national respect. |
| 25 |
Monmouth
|
