---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | |
2 | Duke | |
3 | North Carolina | |
4 | Kansas | |
5 | Kentucky | UK's hit in analytic ranking services didn't take much of a hit after UCLA. They've stayed 4th in KenPom |
6 | West Virginia | |
7 | Baylor | |
8 | Virginia | |
9 | Louisville | |
10 | UCLA | I factor KenPom and Sagarin into my ranking formula, and neither service is very favorable to UCLA. |
11 | Gonzaga | |
12 | Wisconsin | |
13 | Saint Mary's | |

18 | Butler | |
19 | Creighton | |
20 | Xavier | |
