RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky (1) Still hard to choose between them and Villanova
2 Villanova University Logo Villanova (2) See above
3 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina (3) Really played well. Was also tempted to put UNC #1 after their Maui tournament title. Playing extremely well.
4 University of Kansas Logo Kansas (4) BIFM
5 Duke University Logo Duke (5) When they get healthy, they'll probably be the best team in basketball, until then, they're 5th.
6 Xavier University Logo Xavier (6) Beat UNI twice, nice.
7 University of Virginia Logo Virginia (12) Great defense. Big week, Ohio State and West Virginia this week.
8 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga (13) Great win over Iowa State.
9 Baylor University Logo Baylor (UR) Playing like a top 10 team right now, so they are ranked in the top 10.
10 University of Louisville Logo Louisville (8) Blew a lead to Baylor, but still playing good. Purdue this week.
11 Purdue University Logo Purdue (15) Beat India..... Oh wait, that was a different Purdue team. Get Louisville this week.
12 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana (6) Losing to IPFW isn't good, but since you went to Fort Wayne instead of at home, I'll only drop you 6 spots.
13 Creighton University Logo Creighton (16) Unfortunately you won't play anyone until BE play.
14 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin (17) Losing to UNC in Maui isn't bad. Game against OU this coming weekend.
15 University of Arizona Logo Arizona (9) Losing to Butler isn't terrible. Arizona still figuring things out
16 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's (20) I'm already hyped for when they play Gonzaga. Stanford this week.
17 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia (11) Well, you fought hard and made the comeback, but then still lost. I'm still high on you though. You do remind me of last year's team
18 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State (19) Losing to Gonzaga isn't a bad loss.
19 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse (14) Football team outscored you. Both of you lost. Not sure if that says more about your basketball team or football team.
