| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
Thought the Cats were obviously #2 before Duke's loss, so they end up here (assuming they don't shit the bed against Duquesne tonight) |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
'Nova looked good in a solid win over Purdue, and benefit from a Duke loss. |
| 3 |
North Carolina
|
Heels looking good so far; very balanced team with lots of veterans. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
Huge win over Duke, but a loss to IU. Still think Kansas is a top-5 team, so I'm keeping them here at 4. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
I'd drop them further if they weren't missing so many players for injuries, but they also had a solid win against URI today. |
| 6 |
Indiana
|
IU really impressed me in their win over Kansas; they're playing at a much higher level to start the season than I anticipated. |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
Virginia has looked solid, but no big wins to really justify moving them up higher |
| 8 |
Arizona
|
Solid win over MSU, and getting Trier back is YUUUUGE |
| 9 |
Louisville
|
No big wins yet, but benefit from teams around them losing. |
| 10 |
Syracuse
|
'Cuse has been a pleasant surprise so far; playing very cohesively early on. |
| 11 |
Xavier
|
I bumped them down as punishment for going to OT with a probably terrible Mizzou team. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
