Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | |
2 | Duke | |
3 | Virginia | |
4 | Wisconsin | |
5 | Gonzaga | |
6 | Louisville | Got a good game from Wake Forest in ACC opener but came out with the win. Still a tough place to play. |
7 | Arizona | |
8 | Utah | |
9 | Maryland | Gritty win in East Lansing followed by a good showing against a decent Minnesota team. Welcome to the Top 10. |
10 | Texas | |
11 | Notre Dame | Grinded out a tough win against Georgia Tech in two overtimes. |
12 | Villanova | Dropped five spots after loss to Seton Hall, with a big game against St. John's this week. |
13 | Kansas | |
14 | Iowa State | |
15 | Oklahoma | |
16 | Wichita State | |
17 | North Carolina | Playing better lately, although Clemson didn't give them much of a game with the Irish coming to the Dean Dome Monday. |
18 | West Virginia | |
19 | VCU | Win against Cincinnati looking better each week, as are the Rams. |
20 | Seton Hall | First 2-0 Big East start since 2000, and at least a split in their road games this week will go a long way. |
21 | Ohio State | |
22 | GW | Vastly underrated team. Penn State is only "bad" loss, and that was on the road. |
23 | Iowa | Good Big Ten win on the road against Ohio State. |
24 | Baylor | Tough Big 12 opener but they could give Kansas a game this week. |
25 | Stanford | How did this team lose to DePaul? Well, the Blue Demons are 2-0 in the Big East. Stanford has wins over UNLV, Texas and Washington. |
