RankTeamReason
1 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Felt like ranked us outside the top 3 after the WVU game, but a gutsy win at UK makes me realize what this team is capable of.
2 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova
4 Baylor University Logo Baylor
5 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Struggled some vs Washington, but handled the second half exactly how a top team should.
6 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Had a nice week despite last second loss to Nova. I thought UVA definitely played well enough to win.
7 University of Louisville Logo Louisville
8 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Played pretty poorly vs KU after a bad road loss, yet only lost by 6. Their potential is ridiculously high, but they aren't getting there.
9 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Would be ranked higher if they could manage to play better vs lower level competition. Looked great vs KU, but allowed A&M stay too close
10 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina
11 University of Oregon Logo Oregon
12 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Defensive struggles are catching up to them.
13 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin
14 Florida State University Logo Florida State
15 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's
16 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Didn't expect to rank them this high, but enough other teams losing combined with 12 straight wins will make that happen.
17 Butler University Logo Butler
18 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU
19 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame
20 Purdue University Logo Purdue
21 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland
22 Northwestern University Logo Northwestern
23 Duke University Logo Duke
24 Creighton University Logo Creighton
25 University of South Carolina Logo South Carolina
