Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|

3 | Utah | |
4 | Kansas | |
5 | Duke | Lost badly to NC State, but they beat Wisconsin at home. |
6 | Arizona | |
7 | Wisconsin | Lost to Rutgers. Lost to Duke at Home. They won't be ahead of Duke unless they have a better record. |
8 | Villanova | Only one loss, but weak SOS. Only 1 of the 3 "ranked" teams they've beaten are still ranked. |
9 | Gonzaga | Another team with a weak weak schedule. They needed to beat AZ, but lost. They've played no one else that's currently ranked. |
10 | Iowa State | Went on the road and beat a hot West Virginia squad. |
11 | North Carolina | Good home win against Louisville, but it was close. |
12 | Maryland | |
13 | Notre Dame | They needed to beat Virginia at home. |
14 | VCU | Weak schedule lately, and it's not going to get much tougher, but everyone else lost this week. |
15 | Arkansas | Blowout loss at Iowa State, and an OT loss to clemson are their only blemishes. |
16 | Oklahoma | |
17 | West Virginia | |
18 | Oklahoma State | Great win against Texas. Only 3 losses on the season, including only by 2 points at Iowa State. |
19 | Texas | Two losses in a week drops you a lot. Opponent strength is light years better than Wichita State. |
20 | Wichita State | Extremely weak SOS. Their last three wins? Drake, Illinois State, and Bradley. |
21 | Northern Iowa | Weak schedule. They needed to win their double OT game at VCU. |
22 | Seton Hall | You can't lose to Xavier or to Georgia by 20. |
23 | Dayton | Weak Schedule. Only losses were against Arkansas and UCONN. |
24 | Wyoming | Weak schedule, but they beat CSU. |
