FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
Undefeated and beat UNI, Tennessee, and Gonzaga to do it. Also beat Saint Joesph's and Temple. |
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
Only loss to Duke and they've beaten UConn, Notre Dame, UNC, and Rutgers. |
| 3 |
Arizona State
|
Resume baby. Beat KSU, Xavier, Saint John's, and Kansas at Kansas. Put some respek on they name! |
| 4 |
Duke
|
Bad road loss to BC, but has beaten MSU, Texas, and Florida. Bagely still looks like a demi-god too. |
| 5 |
Miami (FL)
|
They're here because they're undefeated thats it. Their only quality win, Minnesota, has dropped like a rock. They best not lose before Duke |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
Only loss is to MSU. Good wins against UNI, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Michigan. |
| 7 |
Texas A&M
|
Only loss is to Arizona, not great imo right now. Beat West Virginia OKST, and USC which are good wins in my mind right now. |
| 8 |
Kentucky
|
Good loss to Kansas but the only good win in my mind is VT. I'm probably only ranking them this high because of their name, IDK. |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
Only lost to Texas A&M which so far is a quality loss. Beat an always tough Virginia squad and a decent Mizzou squad. |
| 10 |
Xavier
|
Good loss to ASU and two good wins, Cincinnati and Baylor. The ETSU game scared me but a 20 point comeback is still commendable. |
| 11 |
TCU
|
Undefeated. Finally picked up good wins against SMU and Nevada. |
| 12 |
Oklahoma
|
Trae Young looks like a god damn stud. Not a good loss to Arkansas but not a bad one either. Beating USC and winning @ Wichita are both good |
| 13 |
Wichita State
|
losing at home will drop ya. The Notre Dame loss looks worse now. Good wins against OKST, Baylor, and Marquette save them |
| 14 |
Kansas
|
Good win against Kentucky, good loss too ASU. Bad loss to Washington also barely beating a bad Nebraska team doesn't inspire confidence |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
Boi1er5 |
| 16 |
Gonzaga
|
The Florida loss is not looking good but the Nova loss looks good. Beat Creighton, Texas, and OSU. Don't go to OT against North Dakota. |
| 17 |
Virginia
|
Best win is against URI and maybe VCU. Lost to WVU which is good. Wisconsin sucking hurts another resume. |
| 18 |
Oklahoma State
|
OKST gets the nod over Baylor because while they both lost to Wichita State OKST's loss to Texas A&M is better. FSU is the only quality W. |
| 19 |
Baylor
|
Losses to Wichita State and Xavier, both decent. Only quality win is Creighton, sorry Wisconsin combusted this year. |
| 20 |
Texas Tech
|
20-25 is all really close. Only lost to Seton Hall so quality loss. Beat Nevada for the quality win. |
| 21 |
Tennessee
|
Good loss to UNC and Nova, Beat Boi1er5 which is nice. Not going to reward you for losing at home so you stay pat this week. |
| 22 |
Cincinnati
|
Florida loss looks even worse now sorry. Beating UCLA got you a good win to pair with ending MSST undefeated season. Xavier L still a good L |
| 23 |
Boise State
|
Iowa State has turned it around so the loss doesn't look bad. Beat Oregon and Loyola-Chicago. Probably ranked to high but I really like em. |
| 24 |
Seton Hall
|
Losing to Rutgers will tank you, and URI isn't looking to hot either. Beating Louisville and Texas Tech will save you for now. |
| 25 |
Creighton
|
Loses to both Baylor and Zaga aren't bad and they beat UCLA and NW. Other schools (Auburn, Nevada, Arizona, Louisville, FSU,Clemson) |
