5 | West Virginia | (6) |
6 | Arizona State | (7) |
7 | Virginia | (8) |
8 | North Carolina | (11) Makes the jump over Xavier and Miami due to a good road win at Tennessee. Only loss is to MSU on the worst shooting night for UNC. |
9 | Kentucky | (12) Make the jump over Xavier and Miami for beating VT. |
10 | Xavier | (9) Fall 1 spot after a close victory vs ETSU |
11 | Miami (FL) | (10) |
12 | Wichita State | (4) Falls 8 spots for losing in Intrust to OU. That building is clearly cursed for WSU. Best player should return soon for them |
13 | Purdue | (15) No longer 15th :'( |
14 | Arizona | (18) Making a big jump as they continue to look good and that Thanksgiving tournament gets further and further away. |
15 | Baylor | (13) Falls 2 spots due to others in front looking better. |
16 | TCU | (17) |
17 | Gonzaga | (19) |
18 | Seton Hall | (14) Falls 4 spots for losing a close game to Rutgers |
19 | Kansas | (22) This was where it got hard. KU beat Nebraska in Lincoln by a last possession 3 by Svi. They honestly haven't looked impressive |
20 | Cincinnati | (UR) Welcome back |
21 | Tennessee | (21) Stays 21st. Nobody had impressive wins to knock them down, and not going to punish a team for losing to a game as expected. |
22 | Texas Tech | (25) Best win is Nevada, Need to get a better schedule |
23 | Oklahoma | (UR) Welcome. Great win in Intrust, still struggle when they take the air out of the ball. I still have questions about this team |
24 | Creighton | (UR) Welcome |
25 | Louisville | (UR) Welcome back. Others Considered: Arkansas, Clemson, Florida State, SMU, and Minnesota |
