RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Destroyed MSU, and didn't look at their best either. These guys are good.
2 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Can't argue with results.
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova Able to win against 2 great bigs in Purdue, in a theoretically tough matchup for them.
4 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Josh Jackson is pretty damn awesome, nice surprise that Azubuike has looked good. They are Big 12 favs yet again.
5 Duke University Logo Duke Without 3 stars, still one of the best teams in the country, but until they get healthy, they aren't #1. How about Kennard, though!?
6 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina
7 University of Virginia Logo Virginia
8 Xavier University Logo Xavier Some growing pains but 5-0. Gates should be back this week, freshmen are coming out of their shells, defense has improved.
9 University of Arizona Logo Arizona
10 Creighton University Logo Creighton Need to be taken seriously, and I just love Greg McDermott.
11 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Elite on D, but do they have a guy that can take over a game like their past great teams?
12 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's Dayton is a good away win.
13 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse
14 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia
15 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA
16 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga
17 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State 130 points... holy shit. Like most of these teams, still haven't been truly tested though.
18 University of Michigan Logo Michigan
19 Purdue University Logo Purdue Well built team
20 Florida State University Logo Florida State
21 Baylor University Logo Baylor Good win against a depleted Oregon
22 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Tournament results may have propped this team up a little too high. Can't fault a tough away loss too much, though.
23 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Not a great team without Dillon Brooks. Should be as low as they get, though, with him coming back.
24 University of Rhode Island Logo URI
25 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas There's probably 10 more teams I think could be top 25, just haven't seen enough yet. I.E. Florida, MIA, Butler, Cal, Wichita, ND, etc.
