| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
(2) Sorry Jay Wright, but I have you #1. Big game against ND this Saturday |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
(4) Schedule easing up some here before Big 12 play. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
(5) Bolden and Tatum slowly coming back. Big game Tuesday against Florida |
| 4 |
Baylor
|
(9) Another great win. Playing some of the best basketball right now. Their schedule gets really easy until Big 12 play |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
(3) Losing at Indiana isn't that bad of a loss. Was disappointed in the effort in the 1st half though. |
| 6 |
Kentucky
|
(1) Losing to UCLA isn't bad, although losing at home isn't ideal. |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
(8) Gonzaga looks like a dangerous team. |
| 8 |
Xavier
|
(6) Not a bad loss at Baylor, especially keeping it close most of the game. |
| 9 |
Indiana
|
(12) Great win at home vs UNC. |
| 10 |
Louisville
|
(10) Good win at home vs Purdue |
| 11 |
Virginia
|
(7) Losing to WVU at home wasn't ideal. I'm high on WVU, so it's not bad, but did show a weakness. |
| 12 |
Creighton
|
(13) Nebraska Wednesday |
| 13 |
Wisconsin
|
(14) Didn't get to watch the game Saturday besides highlights, but the 2nd half was impressive by Wisconsin |
| 14 |
UCLA
|
(20) Great win at UK. UCLA continues to roll. |
| 15 |
West Virginia
|
(17) Great win at UVA. |
| 16 |
Purdue
|
(11) Close loss at Louisville. Purdue is still a really good team, especially with that size. |
| 17 |
Saint Mary's
|
(16) It's a shame that we have to wait until January before seeing you guys play Gonzaga. |
| 18 |
Butler
|
(22) vs Cincy this Saturday should be fun. Then Indiana next week. |
| 19 |
Arizona
|
(15) Close loss to Gonzaga isn't that bad. Arizona should be fine. |
| 20 |
South Carolina
|
(23) Big game vs Seton Hall this week |
| 21 |
Florida
|
(25) Quietly has been impressive but big game vs Duke Tuesday. Then they get rivals FSU Sunday. |
| 22 |
Cincinnati
|
(UR) Great win at Iowa State. Tough game at Butler Saturday |
| 23 |
Iowa State
|
(18) Tough loss at home in OT. Need to rebound this week against Iowa. |
| 24 |
Oregon
|
(24) Staying here, because while you've played better, it hasn't been against anyone. Play well against Bama, and you might move. |
| 25 |
Syracuse
|
(19) Blown out at Wisconsin. But you stay in my ballot this week. Others considered: Wichita State, Ohio State, Maryland, ND, and Providence |
