| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
(+1) Beat Marquette like they should have. Big game when Xavier comes to town on Wednesday. |
| 2 |
West Virginia
|
(+3) Pulled away from OU at home late. Undefeated in the Big 12 and the United States. |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
(+8) My huge jump of the week. DESTROYED VT on the road and dominated UNC at home. Only loss is on the road to the now (2) team. |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
(-3) Got assblasted (s/o Outlaw) @OSU. It's basketball, it happens. Still super talented and the best team in the B1G. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
(-3) They take another bad road loss in ACC play. The defensive issues are very real and need to be fixed if they want to reach their goals. |
| 6 |
Texas Tech
|
(+12) My other huge jump. Said last week I didn't fully buy in... well I do now. Led wire to wire at AFH. Get () OU and (3) WVU this week. |
| 7 |
Arizona State
|
(-3) Lost two in a row but bounced back against Utah. Should win their next few games with relative ease. |
| 8 |
Oklahoma
|
(-) I had them behind WSU last week for some reason? Correcting that. Put up 109 on Ok. St. before falling @ then (5) WVU. 2 big home games. |
| 9 |
Wichita State
|
(-1) Like I said correcting from last week so they drop 2 spots. Destroyed a very weird Houston team. Conference cupcakes coming up. |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
(+2) Took care of business. Two road games this week, Minny is looking depleted but Michigan could be tough if they get hot from 3. |
| 11 |
Xavier
|
(-5) Took care of Butler and losing @Providence isn't terrible. Go to (2) Nova so they can vault themselves back up there with a W. |
| 12 |
Kansas
|
(-3) This one is tough. Demolished @home against TTU, followed it by beating then (17) TCU on the road.Got jumped by 2 and pushed back by X. |
| 13 |
Cincinnati
|
(+6) 4 out of the first 5 teams in front of them lost... "Not lose our way to the top" is in full swing for the Zags. |

Gonzaga

(+6) Following the Zags. Dismantled SMU on Sunday. Get the mighty USF this week. |
| 15 |
Seton Hall
|
(+6) Big win @Butler this week. Go to Marquette and get the fighting Patrick Ewing's at home. |

| 17 |
TCU
|
(-) Similar to UK. Beat Baylor on the road and lost to then (9) Kansas at home in a close one. Go to Texas and (8) OU this week. |
| 18 |
North Carolina

(-5) Had a shot to knock off then (25) FSU in the last 5 sec, got wrecked by then (11) UVA at JPJ (shocker). Thought theyd go 0-2 & they did |
| 19 |
Arizona
|
(-4) Kinda got manhandled @Colorado but also won a close won @Utah. Even their coach is very public about their issues. |
