Kansas

All of a sudden Kansas is right back to being the favorite to win the Big 12. A big jump for them this week, but it's been a strong month. |

West Virginia
|
|
| 8 |
Cincinnati
|
|

Texas Tech
|
Rough road week for TTU. But still one of the best defensive teams in the nation and their year to date still deserves a top 10 vote |
| 11 |
Michigan State
|
MSU is having the same issues this year that plagued them last year. Had to rank 11, 12, 13 in this order based on head to head games. |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 13 |
Clemson
|
|
| 14 |
Oklahoma

Tough week for OU and Trae. Hopefully Trae can find his groove again because the Big 12 defenses have figured him out. |
| 15 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 16 |
Ohio State
|
OSU keeps rolling. One of the hottest teams right now. |
| 17 |
Arizona State
|
On the flip side, one of the coldest teams right now. |
| 18 |
Wichita State
|
|
| 19 |
Seton Hall

|
| 20 |
Auburn
|
|
| 21 |
Tennessee
|
|
| 22 |
TCU
|
Big 12 has been tough on TCU (and everyone else). Big 12 is basically purging themselves. Loss of Fisher hurts TCU. |
| 23 |
Saint Mary's
|
St. Mary's finally got their signature win of the season. |
| 24 |
Florida
|
Florida is only going to get better now that their injury bug is starting to heal. |
| 25 |
Nevada
|
Nevada made the most of national TV spotlight. Hopefully others (selection cmte) start to notice how good they are. |
