This might be as high as anyone ranks Duke, but I've been high on them for a long time and there's no reason to change that for now. |
| 7 |
Arizona
|
|
| 8 |
Xavier
|
Made up for loss to Nova by ripping Butler a new one, but they had to drop some. |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
Assuming they beat Illinois and PSU and get Valentine back before the next poll, they'll rise. |

|
|
| 11 |
Miami (FL)
|
|
| 12 |
SMU
|
|
| 13 |
Iowa State

Played better than OU for most of that game, then OU got hot. Impressed me enough to move them up. |
| 14 |
Villanova

Destroyed Xavier and would've won by a lot even if Xavier had Sumner. |
| 15 |

|
| 18 |

Beating MSU like that is impressive regardless of Denzel being out, then they backed it up vs Purdue. |

West Virginia

Too close to losing at KSU, moved down to #20 bc of this and bc of Iowa looking great. |
