RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Didn't look perfect @Louisville, but did enough for the tough road win.
2 Duke University Logo Duke No games this week.
3 University of Virginia Logo Virginia No games this week.
4 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Still just the 10pt loss to Duke. 12pt win @Cal this week. Bit of a Buffalo scare. Still a very good team.
5 Villanova University Logo Villanova Michigan take note - you should beat N.J.I.T. by 25.
6 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Did not look like a complete team. Poor shooting and turnovers.
7 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga @BYU is a very tough place to win. Still just the OT loss @'Zona.
8 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Been close to getting knocked off - @UNLV is very tough. Can't knock 'em down further.
9 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State No games this week. Lucky that so many teams ahead lost.
10 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland They haven't been impressive, but only loss is still just to UVA.
11 University of Utah Logo Utah Only losses are to ranked teams. Took care of business against the Jackrabbits.
12 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia LSU loss looking more and more like a fluke as season goes on. 33 pt walloping of Wofford helps their case.
13 St. John's University Logo St. John's A 25 pt neutral floor win gives them the edge over Notre Dame in my book.
14 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Took care of business. Jumped by a few teams, but will have chance to prove mettle in ACC schedule.
15 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Surprising loss to Stanford at home, but not impossible to recover from. Very close game.
16 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa Still just the OT loss to VCU. Took care of business this week. I like these Panthers.
17 Texas Christian University Logo TCU Undefeated and not the worst schedule I see in the top-25.
18 Colorado State University Logo Colorado State Undefeated, but not necessarily against stiff competition.
19 University of Washington Logo Washington They really shouldn't lose to Stony Brook... Still, it may just be growing pains.
20 Pennsylvania State University Logo Penn State Only loss was a 2OT early on. Plus that one Maryland fan hating on PSU makes me want to include them even more.
21 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State The Buckeyes leaving no room for doubt this week that they can handle lesser opponents.
22 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State They made it to the championship of the Diamond Head Classic, but couldn't close it out. Too many close games led up to this.
23 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma 34 pt margin vs. Weber St. They seem motivated by already having 3 losses.
24 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina UNC is taking care of business - there will be plenty of opportunity to move up come conference schedule.
25 Baylor University Logo Baylor A 4 pt margin vs. Southern? Come on Bears, you can do better.
