RankTeamReason
1 University of Kansas Logo Kansas (1) Same as last week. Was the lone poller with them at 1 and imagine it will be the same.
2 Duke University Logo Duke (2) Same as last week.
3 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky (3) Same as last week.
4 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga (7) Spanked us and then beat Florida and Iowa State. Jordan Matthews and Williams-Goss have joined with ease. Collins looks legit.
5 Villanova University Logo Villanova (4) Move back only because Gonzaga moved up.
6 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina (6) Big wins against Ok State and Wisconsin, but stay where they are. Feels too low, but I don't know who I would bump above.
7 University of Virginia Logo Virginia (9) Still haven't had a tough match up, but it's impressive how they are putting teams away.
8 Xavier University Logo Xavier (12) I knocked them down and now moved them back. Winning back to back games against UNI how they did is impressive.
9 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana (5) Them looking great was the reason I had Kansas at 1 last week, but they've now shown they're vulnerable.
10 Creighton University Logo Creighton (16) Had them at 16 last week which was messed up. They move up by virtue of Wisconsin, Syracuse, WVU, Arizona and Oregon all losing.
11 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's (15) Seems too high, but everyone else is losing.
12 Baylor University Logo Baylor (NR) Go from unranked to 12 for me. I wanted them to prove that the Oregon game wasn't a fluke. Well they certainly did that this week.
13 University of Louisville Logo Louisville (10) I did some CFB playoff comittee stuff putting Baylor at 12 so I could put Louisville here.
14 Purdue University Logo Purdue (18) Auburn is no joke and they slaughtered them.
15 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State (NR) Impressed that even though size was their big concern going into the season they did well against Gonzaga. Big jump for Iowa State.
16 University of Rhode Island Logo URI (19) Belmont isn't an impressive win this year, but still move up.
17 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse (10) First real challenge and got rocked. Is South Carolina the real deal?
18 University of Arizona Logo Arizona (13) Butler isn't a bad loss, but I wasn't impressed with this team beforehand either.
19 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland (19) It pains me to have Maryland here because it's not too deserved, but everyone is losing and they're not.
20 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA (24) Finally played someone that was a challenge (A&M) and performed. Ball looks good.
21 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati (21) Same as last week.
22 University of Oregon Logo Oregon (8) I was really high on this team preseason. They obviously don't have it all together right now. Hopefully Brooks is back soon.
23 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin (10) Still higher than most. North Carolina and Creighton are good teams. How they lost is concerning though.
24 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia (15) Hadn't played anyone and lost to Temple. That said Temple is a good team.
25 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame (NR) I slept on them. Good wins against Colorado and Northwestern. Last 5 out: Colorado, NC State, Ohio State, SDSU, Butler.
