| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
Beat Michigan State. |
| 2 |
Arizona
|
Moved up by default |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
Losing a close one to the number 1 is acceptable. |
| 4 |
Wichita State
|
Taken care of business. |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Witicha State or Kansas could easily swap with each other. |
| 6 |
Florida
|
Not enough data to evaluate much. |
| 7 |
Villanova
|
Won in the Gavitt games, good win, but not enough to move up. |
| 8 |
Kentucky
|
I don't know how to judge a close loss to Kansas, and a close victory over cupcake Vermont. For now, I think they could hang with everyone. |
| 9 |
Xavier
|
Beat a solid Wisconsin team away, solid win. |
| 10 |
Minnesota
|
Beat a fringe 25 team away, dominant second half. |
| 11 |
USC
|
Hasn't been tested. |
| 12 |
Cincinnati
|
Hasn't played anybody. |
| 13 |
Miami (FL)
|
Taken care of buisness |
| 14 |
North Carolina
|
Beaten the cupcakes |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
Solid win over Marquette. |
| 16 |
Notre Dame
|
Nothing bad to warrant a change. Purdue did have a better win though. |
| 17 |
Texas A&M
|
No change from last week. |
| 18 |
Gonzaga
|
Taking care of business. |
| 19 |
West Virginia
|
As I reevaluate the Texas A&M loss, I can't put them any higher. |
| 20 |
Louisville
|
I maintain that the scandal will affect them more than anyone thinks. |
| 21 |
Alabama
|
21-30 is pretty much interchangeable. |
| 22 |
Seton Hall
|
|
| 23 |
Saint Mary's
|
|
| 24 |
Baylor
|
|
| 25 |
URI

Northwestern dropped out after 2 losses, especially after being demolished by Texas Tech. |
