Submitted on Sunday, November 30, 2014 at 10:53PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
Its going to be very tough to slow these Wildcats down. Talent reigns supreme |
| 2 |
Wisconsin
|
Had a big scare against Georgetown but pulled on through and beat the talented Sooners afterwards. Holding onto #2 |
| 3 |
Duke
|
Michigan State and Stanford Ws are still holding up strong and they should get better as the year moves along |
| 4 |
Arizona
|
Held onto some close victories over Kansas State and San Diego State. Ugly but effective still keeps you at #4 |
| 5 |
Texas
|
Some stellar victories this year with Iowa Cal and Uconn all either on the road even without Isaiah Taylor its a top team |
| 6 |
Louisville
|
Montrezl Harrell and co. leading a strong defense against some decent opponents |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
Close call against Lasalle moves them here but still a very good team that should stay at the top of the rankings the entire year |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
Big Neutral Court W's over Michigan and VCU place them here...please don't hurt me Jayvaughn Pinkston |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
Kyle Wiltjer has been a stellar transfer on another top Zags team. Can the Zags get to the Elite 8 for the first time under Mark Few? |
| 10 |
Wichita State
|
Haven't lost in the regular season since March of 2013...just cruising along with Baker and VanVleet |
| 11 |
Kansas
|
The Kentucky loss looks like a blip on the radar against the consensus #1. Kansas will be fine |
| 12 |
San Diego State
|
Not an overpowering team but big Ws over Utah, Pitt, and BYU with a very close loss to Zona shows SDSU reloads not rebuilds |
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
Suffered their first L of the season in an ugly matchup against Butler but rebounded with W's over Florida and UCLA to land on their feet |
| 14 |
Miami (FL)
|
Back to back W's over Charlotte are very underrated stacked onto their Florida W shows a good squad for Larranaga |
| 15 |
Illinois
|
Surging out of nowhere are the Illini this year lead by Rayvonte Rice with their dominance against the weaklings and a W over Baylor |
| 16 |
Ohio State
|
Cruising against a relatively soft schedule so far. Their first tough test will be a fun one to watch @Louisville |
| 17 |
Oklahoma
|
A very tough team with W's over UCLA and Butler, just have been hampered with a tough road atmosphere and the #2 team in the country as L's |
| 18 |
Arkansas
|
Some big victories over SMU and Iona show a quality Arkansas team that could be second billing to the Wildcats in the SEC |
| 19 |
Michigan State
|
Duke and Kansas are not losses to worry about but still waiting for their first big W |
| 20 |
Maryland
|
Big W over Arizona State and Iowa St put them here but can they overcome the loss of former Xavier player Dez Wells in the near term |
| 21 |
Butler
|
Butler is back. Big neutral site victories over UNC and Georgetown show the Bulldogs still have some bite in them |
| 22 |
West Virginia
|
The neutral site W over UConn still looks strong and they have been looking very good against their other opponents |
| 23 |
Baylor
|
Even though they have a loss to the Illini a neutral site W over Memphis and road W against South Carolina show a strong team in Waco |
| 24 |
Georgetown
|
D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera & Co. beat Florida in a wild one and gave the Badgers their toughest test of the year brings them onto the poll |
| 25 |
Michigan
|
Neutral site L to Villanova doesnt really hurt anyone and they still have a W over Oregon on a neutral site |
