| 1 |
 Duke
|
|

Most underrated team in the nation, and that's saying something considering they're still a top-4 team according to the AP. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
|
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 5 |
Florida
|
|
| 6 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 7 |
Miami (FL)

I LOVE Huell, can't wait to see this beast in ACC play this year. |
| 8 |
Wichita State
|
Big win in Waco, would move higher if it weren't for Miami's statement win against the Gophers |
| 9 |
Texas A&M
|
|
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 11 |
Notre Dame

Feels weird dropping them this much after losing to a top-5, but the loss confirmed lots of doubts I had about them. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
Dominant win over a solid Creighton team. |
| 13 |
Virginia
|
|
| 14 |
Xavier
|
Rivalry wins are a big deal. |
| 15 |
West Virginia
|
|
| 16 |
Arizona State
|
|
| 17 |
Minnesota
|
Somewhat exposed against a good Miami team, but they'll resume climbing the ranks soon enough. |
| 18 |
USC
|
|
| 19 |
Cincinnati
|
Thought they were overrated, possible confirmation after Xavier. |
| 20 |
Seton Hall
|
2 victories against ranked teams, although the Lousiville one is ever so slightly devalued after Purdue. |
| 21 |
TCU
|
|
| 22 |
Baylor
|
Xavier game wasn't as close as the final score would suggest. |
| 23 |
URI

Hurley is the truth. |

|
| 25 |
Texas Tech
