| 1 |
Baylor
|
Best resume in the country bar none. |
| 2 |
Villanova

Still undefeated, but resume isn't as good as Baylor's and I don't buy into the "defending champs" in college sports. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
|
| 4 |
Kentucky

QUALITY LOSS. Baylor loss looks better and better as time goes on. |
| 24 |
Notre Dame
|
Undefeated, but test with Villanova soon will give us a measuring stick. |
| 25 |
Iowa State
|
Two close losses very well could have been wins, but can't rely on that for long. Need wins or will be out of Top 25. |
