Submitted on Monday, December 12, 2016 at 1:28AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
keeps rolling along. Strong RPI schedule |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
loss of Bragg hurts. Jackson moving to PF will make Kansas more dynamic |
| 3 |
Duke
|
will be number one soon enough, finally getting healthy |
| 4 |
Baylor
|
great resume. still hasnt played a road game |
| 5 |
UCLA
|
explosive offense led by Ball. TJ Leaf making a huge difference |
| 6 |
Indiana
|
loss at IPFW is stain on an otherwise awesome resume |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
Berry's injury almost caused a horrific loss vs Tenn. Need more from bench |
| 8 |
Kentucky
|
young team that will be tested against UNC. Fox and Monk have been better than expected. Briscoe is the Most important player |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
very deep and veteran team. Pieces seem to fit well |
| 10 |
Creighton
|
Patton has far exceeded expectations and is a main reason for undefeated start. Watson, Foster, Thomas backcourt is for real |
| 11 |
West Virginia
|
love the pressure D and tough guards. Ahmad is the X factor |
| 12 |
Xavier
|
Tough loss @ Colorado. Need Myles Davis back to hit full potential. |
| 13 |
Wisconsin
|
Probably more of a 20-25 team than a 10-15 team. Hayes finally turning the corner |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
Strong system team with less talent than typical UVA teams. Somehow Perrantes is still undefeated |
| 15 |
Louisville
|
unbelievable interior D. Huge game coming up vs UK. Need Mitchell, Adel, King to be reliable scorers |
| 16 |
Purdue
|
Solid team in the right range for them long term. Swanigan and Haas add different dimension |
| 17 |
South Carolina
|
undefeated but huge test vs SH on a neutral. Loss of Thornwell is huge |
| 18 |
USC
|
loss of Boatwright hurts, but the freshman Melton, Matthews, and Rakocevic making difference off bench |
| 19 |
Oregon
|
Still not playing up to full potential. Would not be surprised to see them fall out of top 25 |
| 20 |
Saint Mary's
|
surprising loss to a good top 75ish UTA team. Landale is making huge impact for veteran SMC. Win @ Dayton and @ Stanford huge |
| 21 |
Florida State
|
loss vs Temple does not look bad anymore. Wins over Florida, Illinois, and Minn gives Noles legit claim to top 25 |
| 22 |
Florida
|
solid team w/ some great RPI wins. 3 losses vs Top 25 teams. Seton Hall win was huge |
| 23 |
Butler
|
bad loss vs Ind St, but redeemed themselves vs Cinci. 9 legit rotation players but only 1 or 2 standouts (Martin/Chrabacz). Baldwin emerging |
| 24 |
Arizona
|
Thin roster, but enough talent to hold their spot in the top 25. Huge test against Texas A&M on sat. |
| 25 |
Notre Dame
|
Next 5: Va Tech, Texas A&M, Valpo, Cinci, Michigan St |
