Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | no change. still deservedly the number 1 |
2 | Kansas | |
3 | Kentucky | big win, have to be recognized as elite |

5 | UCLA | I want to put them at #2, but at the end of the day, still think they're the 5th best team in the country |
6 | Baylor | |
7 | Gonzaga | |
8 | Creighton | Oral Roberts performance wasn't ideal, swapped them with the Zags |

11 | Louisville | |
12 | West Virginia | |
13 | Virginia | |
14 | Wisconsin | |
15 | Butler | when will we be able to figure them out? |
16 | Indiana | They were so close to breaking the top 3 for me; they'll have plenty of chances in conference play |
17 | Arizona | Nice win against A&M |
18 | South Carolina | Finally lost, but one of the best defenses in the country |
19 | Seton Hall | speaking of one of the best defenses, how about these guys pulling of that W? Knew they'd come through |
