RankTeamReason
1 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Loss at ISU not damning (ISU very tough at home), and rebounded nicely with win against Baylor
2 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Two wins over middling opponents (Wake, VT) but got the job done
3 University of Iowa Logo Iowa This was toughest spot for me (3,4,5 of Iowa, KU, and Nova). Iowa has been lights out and another win over top 25 team allows them to rise
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova Tough loss at Providence in OT
5 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Very bad loss at OKST, worst performance of the season by far
6 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Only unbeaten left in SEC play, we will see if they are for real against ISU
7 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Gritty comeback against TT to salvage a split for this week
8 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Maryland played hard against MSU, but the Spartans were desperate. Can't fault MD for MSU's near perfect performance
9 Xavier University Logo Xavier Xavier now nearing the meat of their schedule, can they keep pace with Nova?
10 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Horrid loss at home against Nebraska, but demonstrate how talented they are with win against MD.
11 Providence College Logo Providence I might be higher on them than most, but supremely talented and an excellent OT win vs Nova
12 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Huge win at Hilton vs OU, need that performance to carry over if they want to make a run at KU
13 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU Perfect season falls flat as Temple too much
14 University of Virginia Logo Virginia 2 work-man like wins this week
15 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) 2 solid wins to rebound after a poor week, The U staying within reach of ACC top
16 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Lackluster performance vs GT but able to finish the job
17 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Unspectacular. Solid team, but star power missing to do any serious damage
18 Baylor University Logo Baylor Tough to drop them, but ISU, UL, Providence climbing forced them down
19 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Soft Big10 schedule not their fault, IU continues to take care of business
20 Purdue University Logo Purdue Tough loss at Iowa, but still playing well and poised for a run in the Big10 tourney
21 University of Dayton Logo Dayton Solid team with exceptional athletes, Miller has the Flyers playing excellent as of late
22 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's Besides loss at Pepperdine, the Gaels have been a force in the WCC
23 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Takes advantages of losses by Butler, USC, Duke
24 University of Pittsburgh Logo Pitt No spectacular wins to go with record, but plenty of chances to improve resume coming up
25 University of South Carolina Logo South Carolina Tough to measure even with two losses. Too many poor losses by WSU, Valpo, VCU to rank ahead of SC
