FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
Still the best team IMO. LW: 1. I re-evaluate each week and vote on resume, so teams might move unexpectedly. Don't put too much stock in LW |
| 2 |
Arizona State
|
I like this team a lot, and they're undefeated which carries a bunch of stock. Wins don't look quite as good, but same with MSU. LW: 3. |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
The loss to Duke is hurting them, and the ND/UNC wins don't look as good as they used to. Close between them and ASU though. LW: 2. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
Michigan State win looks really good, the close games are worrying but they still stay here. LW: 4. |
| 5 |
Texas A&M
|
Has a good win over WVU and some decent wins. I think they're top 5 worthy at this point. LW: 6. |
| 6 |
West Virginia
|
The 6-8 range is pretty close, but i like WVU the most out of them. LW: 8. |
| 7 |
TCU
|
Lowest ranked undefeated. Got a tough start to Big 12 play. If they can get through that they'll launch up. LW: 10. |
| 8 |
Xavier
|
May have the best resume on the 6-8 range but they played too close with ETSU/Marshall. LW: 9. |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
I don't get how this team lost to Wofford, but i'll take it. WOOF WOOF. LW: 5. |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
Outside of the WKU loss this team might be top 5 if they didn't lose that game, then again they wouldn't have played Arizona... LW: 12. |
| 11 |
Oklahoma
|
Trae Young is incredible, this Big 12 is stacked. I'd be surprised if Kansas gets through with another league title. LW: 13. |
| 12 |
Tennessee
|
The Purdue win helps a lot for this team. I'm higher than most on this team, but i really don't see who i'd put above them. LW: 15. |
| 13 |
Texas Tech
|
Slightly better than Virginia, teams are pretty close though. Nevada is better than any of Virginia's wins though. LW: 18. |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
Another 1-loss team. Tough to beat them, but they have just a bunch of average wins. LW: 20. |
| 15 |
Baylor
|
Good win over Creighton, not much after that though. LW: 19. |
| 16 |
Seton Hall
|
How did this team lose to rutgers? I don't know. Definitely hurts their ranking. LW: 17. |
| 17 |
Kansas
|
After Kentucky losing, this team fell a long way. Close games recently hurt, so does the fact that i overrated them last week. LW: 11. |
| 18 |
Arizona
|
Atlantis was bad for this team, but outside of that they have looked like a top 25 team. LW: 21. |
| 19 |
Wichita State
|
Too many close games against bad teams recently for me to rank them higher. LW: 14. |
| 20 |
Arkansas
|
Oklahoma win looks very good now. Definitely a top 25 team. LW: 22. |
| 21 |
Florida State
|
Not much, but they've looked pretty good. LW: 23. |
| 22 |
Miami (FL)
|
I overrated this team way too much last week and recently, but definitely closer to a bottom of the top 25 team with this resume now. LW: 7. |
| 23 |
Creighton
|
I don't have much to say about them, i'm tired, my explanations are bad. LW: 25. |
| 24 |
Cincinnati
|
UCLA win looks decent, and they're the only loss for Mississippi State. Got back into the top 25. LW: Unranked. |
| 25 |
Kentucky
|
Nobody better IMO. LW: 16. First 5 out: Louisville, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Gonzaga, Clemson. Dropped out: #24 Gonzaga. |
