Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oklahoma | The top 10 is pretty easy this week, but everything after that is a crapshoot. Parity reigns strong in CBB this year. |
2 | Kansas | |
3 | Maryland | |
4 | Xavier | One of the best records in the country with a bunch of quality wins. |
5 | West Virginia | Three Big 12 teams in the top 5. The conference is just stacked this year. |
6 | Villanova | |
7 | Iowa | Hottest team in the country right now. |
8 | North Carolina | |
9 | SMU | Can they run the table in the AAC? |
10 | Texas A&M | |
11 | Michigan State | |
12 | Arizona | |
13 | Miami (FL) | |
14 | Virginia | Not a great look to lose 3 of your last 4. |
15 | Duke | |
16 | Baylor | |
17 | Providence | They're not who we thought they were? |
18 | Kentucky | |
19 | Indiana | Undefeated in B1G play. |
20 | Pitt | |
21 | South Carolina | Bad loss, but great way to bounce back. |
22 | Louisville | |
23 | Purdue | |
24 | Butler | |
25 | Iowa State | Also considered: Valpo, USC, Wichita St., Dayton, Evansville |
