Rank	Team	Reason
1	Villanova	Did what they needed to do to win and keep the top spot
2	Michigan State	Only loss is still vs. Duke. Looked a bit scary vs. Oakland but they eeked it out. They stay where they were last week.
3	Arizona State	Close win against Vandy, but I'm excusing close games this week a bit. For no particular reason. At all.
4	North Carolina	Good win against the Vols and Wichita State losing nets them a spot
5	Xavier	Again, a close win this week. But there's been a lot this week so I'm giving them a bit of an excuse.
6	Duke	Haven't played in a week so I refuse to move them up a spot from where I had them last week.
7	Baylor	Man, I just absolutely don't get why this team is ranked so low by everyone. They're a top 10 team.
8	Kentucky	Win over VT was nice. Not particularly convincing but they got the W nonetheless.
9	Wichita State	Cmon guys. Now I gotta rank Oklahoma.
10	Kansas	This is where I had them last week. They didn't lose to Nebraska, so they don't move back.
11	Texas A&M	Man, those sure were some basketball games they played this week.
12	Gonzaga	If they played like they did in the last 8 mins vs ND, this team is a Final Four contender. Unfortunately, the other 37 minutes. . .
13	West Virginia	There weren't any scary moments against the D2 team they played, which was refreshing.
14	Miami (FL)	They won this week. Not much more to say. Enjoy the next 2 games, they're the easiest your schedule is going to look for the next two months
15	Virginia	Win against Davidson. Enough to keep them at their same spot.
16	Notre Dame	Ahh. The Indiana loss. Imma need a bar chart to understand how it wasn't a 30 point game.
17	TCU	They play Oklahoma and Baylor around New Years. Depending on how those games go, they might move up to the top 15 or 10.
18	Cincinnati	Beat a really shorthanded UCLA team. Only move up due to Florida loss.
19	Texas Tech	They did what needed to be done this week and gained 2 spots.
20	Tennessee	Lost vs. UNC. Not gonna punish them much for that.
21	Oklahoma	OK is a basketball school now.
22	Creighton	Well, they won. And by a lot. I can't ask for much more.
23	Florida	A loss to temple. Could be worse. They're a much better team than this.
24	Purdue	They just barely made it back. Not much of a schedule for the next month, though.
25	Louisville	Dropped: Seton Hall, FSU, Texas
