RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky LW:1 If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them
2 Duke University Logo Duke LW: 2
3 University of Arizona Logo Arizona LW: 3
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia LW: 4. Part of my thought about moving Louisville above them, but their dismantling of a good Harvard squad redeemed them
5 University of Louisville Logo Louisville LW: 5. Big game against in-state rival Kentucky this week, will it shake up the rankings?
6 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin LW: 6. Big game tomorrow night against Cal, if they win and Louisville loses to UK, they will almost certainly crack the top 5 again
7 Villanova University Logo Villanova LW: 8, +1. A win over Syracuse will vault you over a team playing cupcakes. Tough matchup against NJIT this week though...
8 University of Kansas Logo Kansas LW: 7, -1. They're good, but I'll give a nod to an undefeated team for now
9 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State LW: 9
10 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas LW: 10
11 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga LW: 11. None of the teams at 9-11 had great wins, but nobody did anything to jump them
12 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State LW: 12
13 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia LW: 14, +1.
14 University of Utah Logo Utah LW: 16, +2. A real surprise team this year, if you ask me, but they keep winning
15 University of Washington Logo Washington LW: 24, +9. I wasn't sold on them early on, but undefeated is undefeated
16 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma LW: 13, -3. Losing to a good team won't kill your ranking in my book
17 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State LW: N/A, +9. I accidentally missed them last week. Oops...
18 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland LW: 21, +3. Nice win against Ok State, the B1G newcomers keep rolling
19 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State LW: 15, -4. Losing to borderline Cinci will make you tumble
20 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina LW: 22, +2. Big bounce back win over Ohio State after a rough start
21 St. John's University Logo St. John's LW: 20, -1.
22 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse LW: 18, -4. Nova is a good team, but the Cuse is racking up losses
23 Creighton University Logo Creighton LW: 17, -6. No offense to North Texas, but Creighton has no business losing to the Mean Green
24 Virginia Commonwealth University Logo VCU LW: 24. Nice win over a solid Cinci team, won't get them to move up however
25 University of Oregon Logo Oregon LW: N/A, +1. I hate their jerseys, like what they've done so far
