RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke (Change) (1)Huge win and not even full strength, that's good enough for me
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas (1)Although the game rarely resembled basketball, Kansas still picks up one of the best wins of the young season
3 University of Arizona Logo Arizona (-2)Still the best team in the country, but high profile wins for Duke and Kansas move them up the board
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova (--)
5 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M (1)They may not be the 5th best team in the nation, but without many impressive profiles surrounding them they've earned this spot
6 University of Florida Logo Florida (2)
7 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State (2)
8 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State (3)Won't drop much for a loss to Duke
9 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky (2)I know people will hate UK being ranked this high, but I think it's realistic
10 Purdue University Logo Purdue (2)Not ready to have them jump MSU just yet, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they do very soon
11 University of Southern California Logo USC (-1)This slight drop isn't really to punish them for a hard fought OT win, Purdue has just impressed more
12 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina (-2)You could make a case for this team being anywhere from 10-16 on my ballot, I think 12 is about right
13 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati (--)
14 University of Virginia Logo Virginia (--)There might be an offense brewing to pair with the nation's top (maybe?) defense
15 Xavier University Logo Xavier (--)Tre is a beast
16 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) (--)
17 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia (--)Who is the best one loss team in the country? WVU isn't that far behind Kentucky and MSU in this category
18 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame (--)
19 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech (NR)Okay, so NU was overrated, but to not rank this team would be a travesty.
20 Baylor University Logo Baylor (-1)
21 Texas Christian University Logo TCU (-1)
22 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall (-1)It was close for a bit against IU...until it wasn't. This is a good team.
23 University of Minnesota Logo Minnesota (NR)Great road win against a top 50 Providence team
24 University of Louisville Logo Louisville (-2)Certainly haven't been great, but they hold for now
25 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's (-1) Dropped from rankings: Northwestern, Gonzaga
