| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
Currently the strongest looking team in CBB |
| 2 |
Purdue
|
This was a debate between Purdue and Virginia, but I put Purdue higher due to their win streak |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
Very much deserving of a number one seed come March |
| 4 |
Duke
|
Strong team that can score a lot |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Impressive road win at WVU. Sadly, this may be number 14 for Kansas |
| 6 |
Cincinnati
|
Cincinnati had very impressive defensive outing against UCF and deserve to be one of the top 6 teams |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
Road win at Seton Hall moves Xavier into the 7 spot |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
Not much to say here. They got the job done this week |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
After a close loss to Kansas they rebounded against Texas |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
This teams strength of schedule is the best in the country. They will be ready for anything come March |
| 11 |
Ohio State
|
I currently think Ohio State is underrated |
| 12 |
Oklahoma
|
Oklahoma had a rough week, but they need to find a way to win if Young has a bad gme |
| 13 |
Creighton
|
This is a bit of a reach, but I think Creighton is a very strong team with the ability to win ballgames |
| 14 |
Texas Tech
|
Tough week for Texas Tech, but I believe they are still a very strong team |
| 15 |
Arizona
|
I'm not too impressed by Arizona right now, but they are playing well enough to earn the 15th spot |
| 16 |
URI
|
Rhode Island at 16 is probably a little high right now, but I think they could easily compete with any of the other teams that could go here |
| 17 |
Saint Mary's
|
I like this team right now. They appear to be able to compete with just about anyone |
| 18 |
Wichita State
|
Back to back losses to unranked teams is rough, but Wichita is lucky so many other teams lost |
| 19 |
Auburn
|
A road loss at Alabama is a bump in the road for this team, but they should rebound after their win against Georgia |
| 20 |
Nevada
|
This teams RPI boosts them up into the top 25. As long as they keep winning, they will keep moving up |
| 21 |
Clemson
|
Didn't get the win at Chapel Hill, but still worthy of the 21st spot |
| 22 |
Arizona State
|
Loss to Stanford drops them to 22 |
| 23 |
Gonzaga
|
I currently feel like this Gonzaga team is overrated and didn't deserve the ranking it had last week and with their loss it drops them to 23 |
| 24 |
Michigan
|
Not a great week for Michigan, but not terrible either. Being blow out by Nebraska wasn't good |
| 25 |
Tennessee
|
Other teams considered here were Kentucky, Oklahoma State, Miami, Seton Hall, and TCU |
