|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
|
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 3 |
Texas A&M

This week I was fixing things from last week's poll that I rushed. I think Texas A&M is top 3 after some reconsideration. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
|
| 5 |
Villanova
|
|
| 6 |
Miami (FL)
|
Won on the road against Minnesota. |
| 7 |
Florida
|
|
| 8 |
Notre Dame
|
|
| 9 |
Wichita State
|
Probably should've been lower last week but winning @Baylor pops them up. |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 11 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 12 |
Arizona State
|
Xavier had wins this week that make Arizona State look better. |
| 13 |
Virginia
|
|
| 14 |
Kentucky
|
The only game they have looked good in is also their only loss. Looks like the play to the level of their opponent. |
| 15 |
Xavier
|
Beat Baylor and Cincinnati. |
| 16 |
West Virginia
|
|
| 17 |
Seton Hall
|
Beat Texas Tech and Louisville this week. |
| 18 |
Minnesota
|
Their wins against Providence and Alabama have dipped in quality slightly. Plus they lost at home. |
| 19 |
Nevada
|
Still undefeated with a lot of good wins over good mid-majors. |
| 20 |
Tennessee
|
Only loss was a competitive game with Nova in Atlantis. Beat Purdue in a close one. |
| 21 |
URI
|
Beat Seton Hall. Losses are @Nevada and Virginia on neutral. |
| 22 |
Cincinnati
|
So far Xavier has been their only true test and they didn't look good. They will prove themselves in their upcoming schedule. |
| 23 |
Texas
|
|
| 24 |
Purdue
|
Purdue has a lot of good "eye-test" wins. Their loss to Western Kentucky will be holding them down. |
| 25 |
TCU
|
Undefeated but they need to pick up some resume wins. I had Baylor at 26, Northern Iowa at 27, and USC at 28. |
