Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oklahoma | They remain #1 since losing a close game in Hilton Coliseum isn't bad at all. |
2 | North Carolina | |
3 | Iowa | Dismantling their opponents left and right. Haven't won by single digits in over 3 weeks. |
4 | Kansas | |
5 | Xavier | |
6 | Texas A&M | One of the biggest surprises of the season. Who saw this coming? |

9 | Maryland | Also looking kinda shaky. |
10 | Virginia | |
11 | SMU | |
12 | Miami (FL) | |

16 | Baylor | |
17 | Indiana | |
18 | Louisville | |
19 | Iowa State | All their losses are by 5 points or less. |
