RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Slept through most of the game against Columbia, but put up a good showing on Saturday against North Carolina.
2 Duke University Logo Duke Blue Devils had a bye week, but retain the #2 spot.
3 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Did what they had to against Utah Valley State, then beat Michigan impressively.
4 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Beat Indiana by 20, Cards are really making their case outside the top 3....
5 University of Virginia Logo Virginia ....but so is Virginia. Even with the bye week, I think the Cavs are a top 5 team.
6 Villanova University Logo Villanova The only other team that I think is top 5 material, at the moment, is 'Nova. Went on the road to beat Illinois, then crushed Temple.
7 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga I had Gonzaga jump KU this week due to their solid win at UCLA.
8 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Georgetown and Utah are both good wins. I definitely think KU's rebounded from that loss to UK.
9 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State The much-hyped game at Iowa ended in a big Cyclone win. Posted two other wins to go 3-0 this week.
10 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Posted two dominating wins over Milwaukee and Nicholls State. Still a top 10 team.
11 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State Unfortunately someone has to drop after Iowa State's big week. Shockers leave the top 10 for now. That said, nice win over Seton Hall.
12 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Took care of Texas State in their only game this week.
13 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State I think Long Beach State is better than what most may perceive them to be, but I think the Aztecs should have won by more than 1 at home.
14 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Had two 20+ point wins over Mount St. Mary's and Florida State.
15 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State High Point and Morehead State aren't great teams, but the Buckeyes did alright outscoring those two by 70.
16 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Only played Savannah State on Monday, which they won by 31. 'Canes still look good.
17 St. John's University Logo St. John's Two more big wins for SJU. I think the Johnnies are playing top 20 basketball.
18 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Only had the home win over Oakland this week.
19 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Beat rival Marshall by 3.
20 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Had wins over NC Central and South Carolina Upstate. 10-1 still looks good.
21 University of Washington Logo Washington Speaking of good records, the Huskies remain undefeated after coming from behind to beat Eastern Washington. Welcome to my top 25!
22 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Another newcomer to my list is Oklahoma. Beat in-state rival Tulsa by 19.
23 Texas Christian University Logo TCU Wait, the Horned Frogs not only stay in my top 25, but they also climb a couple spots? Deal with it.
24 Butler University Logo Butler Tough loss at Tennessee, but Butler still remains in good shape.
25 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa Personally, I think UNI deserves to stay in the top 25 after losing in double OT on the road to a quality VCU team. Up next? Iowa.
