|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
(1) Solid win against a decent Temple team. No drop from the wildcats this week. |
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
(2) Scraped by Oakland. They've had a few of those games this season where they pull away late against lesser opponents. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
(3) Didn't play this week and nobody else proved they deserved a top 3 ranking over Duke. |
| 4 |
Arizona State
|
(5) Good win against the Commodores. They jump Wichita State. |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
(8) Great road win at Tennessee. |
| 6 |
Texas A&M
|
(7) Didn't choke this week, so they pass Wichita State. |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
(6) Played a really bad game against ETSU, but pulled out the win late. TAMU and UNC jump them. |

Miami (FL)
|
(10) Lookie here, another team that didn't choke. They jump Wichita State. |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
(11) Didn't choke. They jump Wichita State. |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
(11) Scary game against a bad North Dakota team, but they eeked out the win. They jump Wichita State. |
| 11 |
Oklahoma
|
(24) Great win at Wichita State. This team is more than just Trae Young too. |
| 12 |
Wichita State
|
(3) With their loss to Notre Dame looking worse + this loss to OU, they had to drop a fair bit. |
| 13 |
Virginia
|
(12) Solid week, but OU and Tennessee just had better weeks. |
| 14 |
TCU
|
(16) Didn't play, but jump a few teams who have faltered. |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
(17) Good win at Butler. Looks like they've recovered since B4A. |
| 16 |
Kentucky
|
(18) Great win against VT. Maybe this squad is better than I think they are. |
| 17 |
Kansas
|
(13) After the close call to Nebraska, I'm starting to think that their level of play the last couple weeks might be representative. |
| 18 |
Tennessee
|
(15) Played UNC close, but they drop a bit |
| 19 |
Texas Tech
|
(19) They didn't choke, so they stay where they are. |
| 20 |
Seton Hall
|
(15) Rutgers is better this year, but you still can't lose to them. They drop a bit. |
| 21 |
Baylor
|
(20) Didn't choke this week, but they drop a spot because OU moved up. |
| 22 |
Arizona
|
(23) Didn't choke. If they keep playing the way they are playing, this could be a top 5 team by March. |
| 23 |
Cincinnati
|
(UR) Decent wins against Miss State and UCLA move these guys up. |
| 24 |
Creighton
|
(UR) Didn't lose this week, so they move in over Florida, Notre Dame, Florida State. |
| 25 |
Oklahoma State
|
(UR) 26. Auburn 27. Clemson 28. Arkansas 29. Alabama 30. FSU 31. BC 32. Louisville 33. Nevada 34. Missouri 35. Notre Dame |
