RankTeamReason
1 Villanova University Logo Villanova Came back after a loss @Butler very well, shows the resilience of this program
2 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia After a victory against Trae Young and the Sooners, WVU shows that they are currently the best team in the Big 12
3 University of Virginia Logo Virginia There's that staple win I was looking for last week. Holding UNC under 50 is an incredible feat, and their only loss (WVU) looks really good
4 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Even after getting blown out @OSU, MSU is still the favorite to win the Big Ten
5 Duke University Logo Duke Have 3 wins against Kenpom top 50 opponents, yet their two losses are to sub-50 opponents.
6 Purdue University Logo Purdue One of the more complete teams this year, Purdue is probably the only other contender for the Big Ten title against MSU.
7 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Even after a loss @WVU, Oklahoma is a big threat to win the Big 12
8 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Only loss to a really good Seton Hall team, winning @Kansas is a huge deal.
9 Xavier University Logo Xavier Still one of the more consistent teams in the Big East, even after a loss @Providence.
10 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State I don't like ranking WSU this high, but they remained solid in a week where 15 ranked teams lost.
11 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall Top of the Big East, they'd be higher if it wasn't for losses against Rhode Island and Rutgers
12 University of Arizona Logo Arizona First loss since the disaster that was the Battle 4 Atlantis came @Colorado, a team who was coming off hot against ASU.
13 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State While they were on a 2 game skid, they were both away, and they have great wins @Kansas and vs. Xavier.
14 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati These next 3 stayed solid in a crazy week, so while others fell, they moved up
15 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga
16 Auburn University Logo Auburn
17 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Two losses at home doesn't look good, even if they were ranked opponents. However, they bounced back w/ a win @TCU
18 Texas Christian University Logo TCU Only losses vs. Oklahoma and Kansas, however, they still don't have a signature win.
19 Clemson University Logo Clemson Remaining solid atop the ACC.
20 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL)
21 Florida State University Logo Florida State A close win against UNC helps them, but a loss @Miami (FL) hurts
22 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee
23 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky
24 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina
25 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Also Considered: Creighton, Arkansas, Ohio State, Michigan, Butler
