|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
A win against LAS with Booth/DiVincenzo's 18 keep the Wildcasts undefeated and propel them to #1 in my mind with Duke/Kansas losses.Next:TEM |
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
The Spartans had 3 players with 17 against SUU. This team looks even stronger than their loss to Duke and win against UNC. OAK is next. |
| 3 |
Miami (FL)
|
Walker had 26 and Miami stays undefeated with their win against BU. GW is up next for the Canes. |
| 4 |
Wichita State
|
The Shockers still look good. Shamet had 30 against OKST. OKLA is their next target. |
| 5 |
Arizona State
|
Wow. I mean, a win against ranked Xavier was impressive a few games ago, but Kansas? At Kansas no less? Go Sun Devils! VAN is next. |
| 6 |
Duke
|
After a dismantling of SFU, Duke finally takes it's first loss (an away ACC game again no less) against BC. They need to regroup quickly. |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
Kentucky wins against MONM with the help of Diallo's 23. VT is up next for the Wildcats, who shook off their early season struggles. |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
Strong wins recently against WCU with Maye's double-double. TENN is up next. |
| 9 |
Xavier
|
The Musketeers keep on rolling with Bluiett's 25 against Colorado. ETSU is their match for this week. |
| 10 |
Texas A&M
|
A close lose to Arizona, the Aggies rebound in style with Gilder's 14 against PV. SAV is up next. |
| 11 |
West Virginia
|
The Mountaineers got some nice wins against UVA and PITT this week, and have looked great after starting with a loss to the Aggies. |
| 12 |
Kansas
|
After such a strong start, Kansas had a horrible week with two losses to WASH and ASU. NEB is next. |
| 13 |
Seton Hall
|
Yarr, the Pirates are doing well these past few games. In their last 3, they've beaten ranked TTU/LOU and VCU. SPU is next. |
| 14 |
TCU
|
The Horned Frogs are one of the few perfect teams left so far this season, squeaking out a win against Nevada. TXSO is next. |
| 15 |
Gonzaga
|
It was a tough loss to Villanova, but the Bulldogs played well. WASH is next. |
| 16 |
Notre Dame
|
An ugly loss to BALL, the Fighting Irish pick back up with a win against Delaware. They play in-state against IND next. |
| 17 |
Purdue
|
TBD. Despite their earlier losses, Purdue stays on the hot streak with wins against NW, VALP, and IUPU. BUT is next. |
| 18 |
Virginia
|
The Cavs just couldn't squeak a win past WVU, even playing at their slower pace. Davidson is up next. |
| 19 |
Baylor
|
Omot had 30 against Randall, and the Bears improve to 7-2 in play. TXSO is next this week. |
| 20 |

Oh dear. After a close loss to Duke last week, the Gators drop their next two (FSU/L-IL no less), but grab a much needed win against CIN. |
| 21 |
Texas Tech
|
Despite a tough loss against Seton Hall, the Red Raiders strike back with a win against ranked Nevada. KENN is next. |
| 22 |
Cincinnati
|
Two tough losses against Xavier (who have looked strong), but also Florida (who dropped 3 in a row). Bearcats? MSST is next. |
| 23 |
Tennessee
|
Welcome to the Top 25 Tennessee. Good wins at GT and against LIP, but their big test is next: UNC. |
| 24 |
Louisville
|
With some teams dropping out this week, I think we can let the Cards back in, no? Their two losses this season have come to strong teams. |
| 25 |
UCLA
|
A few decent wins with Minnesota dropping 3 of their last 4 welcome back the Bruins into the top 25 this week. |
