| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
Need I say anything about this? |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Only team that I believe could give Kentucky a run for their money this year |
| 3 |
Louisville
|
Incredible defensive team, think they have just a slight edge on the other unbeaten |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
Showed great resiliency in their victory in 2OT vs Miami and big wins on the road @Maryland and @VCU |
| 5 |
Wisconsin
|
Great team in a rather down year for the B1G this season. Played Duke very well and has the pieces to run the table in conference play |
| 6 |
Arizona
|
Just cant seem to win in Las Vegas, otherwise have a great team this year and have a great shot in March |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
Very tough road loss against Arizona, otherwise have been phenomenal on both sides of the ball and deserve to remain top 10 |
| 8 |
Utah
|
This team has the opportunity to do big things. Their game against UCLA was dominant. Both losses were quality and close. |
| 9 |
Villanova
|
Tough loss against a pesky Seton Hall team. Need to come out and reprove themselves against St. Johns |
| 10 |
Maryland
|
Exceptional start to their season with only a quality loss against a top 5 team and a big win at Michigan St. in B1G opener |
| 11 |
Texas
|
Very odd loss against a questionable Stanford team but has looked like a great team thus far, especially on the boards |
| 12 |
Iowa State
|
Great offensive squad, needs some work on the boards but will be a real contender in the Big 12 |
| 13 |
Notre Dame
|
Fantastic team offensively, just not proven yet, that will change this week @UNC |
| 14 |
West Virginia
|
Close loss away from being undefeated and took out an undefeated TCU team pretty easily. |
| 15 |
Oklahoma
|
Few quality losses on top of a few quality wins. Big game this week against Texas to show what this team is made of in tough Big 12 |
| 16 |
Wichita State
|
Played a very good Utah team very well on the road just missed pulling out the W. Questionable loss against GW, but a solid team. |
| 17 |
North Carolina
|
Quality win against a good Ohio St team and a few decent losses due to sloppy play. If they can tighten up they will be a force in March |
| 18 |
Ohio State
|
Very solid team offensively and a couple quality losses against some good teams, another very solid squad. |
| 19 |
Kansas
|
Has struggled on both sides of the ball at times and has a very bad 20pt loss to Temple. May struggle in tough Big 12 |
| 20 |
Baylor
|
Tough loss against a tough OU team on the road, but looked solid as they did through most of their nonconf schedule |
| 21 |
Old Dominion
|
Great start to their season with their signature win against VCU |
| 22 |
VCU
|
Still performing very well this season with some tough losses against their quality opponents. |
| 23 |
Oklahoma State
|
Bad loss @ south car and quality loss against Maryland, other than that a very good start to their season in a loaded Big 12. |
| 24 |
Washington
|
Couple of bad back to back losses after a great start to their season. Still believe this is as solid squad that will turn it around. |
| 25 |
Seton Hall
|
A couple big wins this week moves them from off the radar into top 25, time to see if they can keep it up. |
