Oklahoma

| 2 |
Kansas
|
|
| 3 |
Virginia
|
Next three are a toss up. String of good wins (Vill, WV, Cal). Looks better than a Valentine-less Michigan St. |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
Win over Kansas earlier in the season and Iowa's win over Purdue, keeps them from dropping to 5. |
| 5 |
Maryland
|
Good loss, but no wins good enough to rank them ahead of UVA or Michigan St. |
