Duke

| 5 |
North Carolina

Top 5 staying the same - nothing particularly noteworthy. I thought UNC was a tier below, but they may be be closer than I thought. |
| 6 |
Virginia
|
|
| 7 |
Xavier
|
|
| 8 |
Baylor
|
Impressive stretch for Baylor with wins against Oregon, VCU, MSU and Louisville. |
| 9 |
Indiana
|
Bad loss, but they still have the KU win - which is a better resume win than almost anyone else has. |
| 10 |
UCLA
|

Iowa State
|
|
| 18 |
Oregon
|
Still getting the benefit of the doubt with Brooks' injury and their current form. But we need to see some life soon. |
| 19 |
Cincinnati
|
Moved up a few spots due to teams ahead of them losing. |
| 20 |
Syracuse
|
|
| 21 |
West Virginia
|
Loss to Temple was worth dropping a handful of spots, but a lot of teams picked losses to keep them from dropping more. |
| 22 |
Butler
|
|
| 23 |
Arizona
|
Other than a comeback win against a very mediocre Michigan State team, what have they done? |
| 24 |
Wisconsin
|
|
| 25 |
South Carolina
|
I'm not sure they are a Top 25 team, but with wins against Michigan and Syracuse they have earned this spot. |
