FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
Nova escaped the week without any losses, giving them back the #1 spot. Huge home game this week against the Musketeers. |
| 2 |
West Virginia
|
Damn these guys defended Trae Young well. Right now they are the best team in the Big 12. |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
UVA allowed 52 and 49 over rivals Virginia Tech and UNC. They deserved to be ranked in the top 3. |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
Just as I was about to put them at #1, they lose. Ohio St looks good this year though. Their game against Michigan should be a fun one. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
Five straight ACC road losses. Are you kidding me? They better save themselves with road games against the two worst teams in the ACC soon. |
| 6 |
Texas Tech
|
One of the most experienced teams in the country. Should be a fun one in Norman. |
| 7 |
Purdue
|
One of the scariest teams to play in the country right now. Should be fun games when they play at Michigan and Minnesota this week. |
| 8 |
Oklahoma
|
Trae Young is finally stopped, yet still had 29 points. Huge game this week against Tech, who has yet to trail in big 12 play. |
| 9 |
Wichita State
|
Shocker Nation comes up huge against Houston and USF this week. Their next tough game is in two week when SMU comes to town. |
| 10 |
Arizona State
|
Both of the Arizonas lost at Colorado and struggled at Utah. Mountains are a tough place to win, man. |
| 11 |
Xavier
|
It is always hard to win at Providence. They're still an impressive team, but they face a huge roadblock as they head to Nova this week. |
| 12 |
Seton Hall
|
That Texas Tech win looks better and better for the Pirates. Huge road win over Butler, as Hall inches closer to the top 10. |
| 13 |
Kansas
|
They actually benefit this week due to a massive amount of teams losing. They had an ugly loss at home, but bounced back at TCU. |
| 14 |
Gonzaga
|
Gonzaga is the true winner after an abysmal week for top 25 teams. They did not lose and move up 8 spots. |
| 15 |
TCU
|
TCU is looking for revenge this week when they head to Norman. They proved they are legit after an OT win at Baylor and fought with KU. |
| 16 |
Cincinnati
|
Like the Zags, Cincy should thank the rest of the top 25 for losing. They looked dominant over SMU. |
| 17 |
Arizona
|
The Coors Event Center is a spooky place to play basketball. |
| 18 |
Miami (FL)
|
Three Point Chain U saved themselves with a solid win over FSU. That GT loss was just embarrassing though. |
| 19 |
North Carolina
|
Despite dropping 2 road games this week, UNC still has a ton of top 50 win. It is really hard where to rank them this week. |
| 20 |
Clemson
|
The ACC is a pure warzone this year. The bottom half of my rankings lowkey look like the CFBP. |
| 21 |
Auburn
|
Welcome to the sport of basketball, Auburn. They are now the highest ranked SEC team right now. Truly a bloodbath. |
| 22 |
Florida State
|
FSU did just lose to Three Point Chain U, but their win over UNC gives them another crack at the top 25. |
| 23 |
Tennessee
|
The only thing keeping them from dropping out was that impressive win over Kentucky. They looked their best in that game. |
| 24 |
Florida
|
Stuck between them and Notre Dame, but the Irish lost their two best players, and Florida finally looks like Florida. |
| 25 |
Kentucky
|
Had to drop Kentucky this low. They are 2-3 against the top 50, and also 2-3 away from Rupp Arena. |
