RankTeamReason
1 University of Kansas Logo Kansas #1 and #2 losing will usually make it easy for you to take the top spot
2 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Went to Arizona and handed them a loss. Looking more and more like a 1 or 2 seed by the day
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova Nice victory against Creighton but still dropped a home game to Butler
4 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga It's only 1 loss but a slight down year from BYU and at home isn't the prettiest
5 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Great last week and a half with another huge matchup @Virginia come Monday
6 University of Oregon Logo Oregon They were challenged this week but a win is a win is a win
7 University of Arizona Logo Arizona There's no shame in losing to UCLA, and the Cats are still in great shape
8 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky They haven't all be pretty lately but the Florida win is a definite confidence builder
9 University of Louisville Logo Louisville It's tough stealing a win @UNC but the Syracuse win was a great bounce back
10 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia No easy games in the Big 12 and @Baylor on Monday should be fun
11 University of Florida Logo Florida The loss to Kentucky looks like its just a small hiccup in what could be a deep NCAA run
12 Baylor University Logo Baylor Baylor hasn't play great of late but all that can be forgiven with win against WVU
13 Duke University Logo Duke Road games are tough in any conference never mind the ACC, this week will be a better indicator of how Duke is doing
14 Florida State University Logo Florida State Closing out @Clemson was nice but a win @Duke will be more impressive
15 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU They just keep winning and will be rewarded
16 Purdue University Logo Purdue Michigan is hot right now, I expect Purdue to fix things in time for Indiana
17 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame 5 straight wins and should be 6 against BC
18 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's It hurts that they play in the WCC but none of their wins are even close
19 Butler University Logo Butler Wins at Nova and at Xavier? That'll help
20 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Badgers have not played well recently, and Iowa doesn't look like a pushover
21 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati That loss to UCF hurts, there's no way around it. Offense just disappeared.
22 University of Minnesota Logo Minnesota Red hot and a win @Wisconsin looks very doable right now
23 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State Competition is weak but the way the Shockers are playing they could beat anybody
24 Oklahoma State University Logo Oklahoma State The matchup against Iowa State should be one of the most exciting games early in the week
25 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Only thing keeping them here is the win vs NC State Also considered: Iowa State, Middle Tennessee, Miami, Vermont, Michigan
