RankTeamReason
1 Villanova University Logo Villanova The defending champs are undefeated with three top 100 wins.
2 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Kentucky is yet to be tested. We'll see how they do in December against UNC and Louisville.
3 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina UNC has looked absolutely dominant. There's really nothing else to say about this team.
4 University of Kansas Logo Kansas I'm a little worried about their shooting going forward, but this team is still loaded with talent.
5 Duke University Logo Duke Duke hasn't beat anyone great yet, but they're still doing very well without some great freshmen. They'll be scary good when healthy.
6 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Similar to Duke -- no standout win yet, but it's hard to fault a team that manhandles everyone it plays.
7 Xavier University Logo Xavier I'm a little worried about this team's inability to put teams away, but 6-0 is 6-0. I'll move Xavier up to #1 if they give us Macura.
8 Baylor University Logo Baylor One of the biggest surprises of the year so far.
9 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Looked great in the Advocare Invitational. Again.
10 University of Louisville Logo Louisville I've cooled off on Louisville after last week. They'll be fine, but I don't think they're a top five team.
11 University of Oregon Logo Oregon I think this team can be very good, but right now they don't look like a top ten team.
12 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State 5-1 with a two-point neutral court loss to Gonzaga. Hard to move them down.
13 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's It'll be a while before we know much about this St. Mary's team.
14 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Not sure what to make of this team. I think many people overreacted to their win over Kansas.
15 Butler University Logo Butler Undefeated.
16 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse Tuesday's game with Wisconsin will be a fun one.
17 Creighton University Logo Creighton Creighton probably won't lose until January. They could crack the top 10.
18 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Zona has been thoroughly unconvincing so far.
19 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA They've played two teams in the KenPom top 150.
20 University of South Carolina Logo South Carolina I didn't see them being this good, so props to SCar.
21 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin They've won the games they should win and lost the games they should lose.
22 University of Florida Logo Florida 6-1 with some decent wins.
23 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Too early to really know about this team. Not super efficient.
24 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia They really should've won that Temple game. They had the same problems (turnovers, shooting) that we all expected.
25 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Purdue, Oklahoma State and Ohio State can play their way into the rankings with solid weeks.
