Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | (1) |
2 | Arizona | (2) |
3 | Wichita State | (4) |
4 | Michigan State | (5) |
5 | Kansas | (3) Only moved due to being worried about the depth of this team. Obviously in December this will change, but until then, it's a concern |
6 | USC | (8) |
7 | Miami (FL) | (7) |
8 | North Carolina | (9) |
9 | Kentucky | (6) Only fall 3 spots for a close win. Very young team, but I still think they'll rise to the challenge quicker than expected |
10 | Northwestern | (10) |
11 | Villanova | (11) |
12 | Florida | (12) |
13 | Cincinnati | (13) |
14 | Xavier | (18) Looking back over this team, I think I underrated them last week. |
15 | Texas A&M | (20) Probably have the best win of the season so far. Looked impressive |
16 | Minnesota | (14) |
17 | Notre Dame | (15) |
18 | Saint Mary's | (17) |
19 | Louisville | (16) Close win. I think it will take a few games to get used to not having Pitino on the sidelines |
20 | West Virginia | (19) I thought the A&m game would be close, didn't expect a blowout, but you only fall 1 spot, for now. |
21 | Purdue | (21) |
22 | Baylor | (22) |
23 | URI | (23) |
24 | TCU | (24) |
25 | Providence | (25) Forgot to do this last week but.... Others Considered: UCLA, Alabama, Virginia, Missouri, and Seton Hall |
