RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke No one has even challenged Duke yet.
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Big game against Marquette on the 21st will be their second real matchup.
3 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Two true road wins and a win against Stanford is one of the better resumes out there.
4 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga The 23 point win over Texas A&M was their closest game so far.
5 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Looks to be every bit the team they were last year. Held a team to 42 and another to 40. And it's only been 3 games.
6 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada I will judge this team based on how long they stay undefeated. They quite possibly might not lose at all this season.
7 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee I'd love to put them higher but their best win so far is Georgia Tech.
8 Auburn University Logo Auburn The home win over Washington should age well.
9 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Walked into Villanova's building and dismantled them.
10 Florida State University Logo Florida State How have they only played 2 games? 21 point win over Florida and a road win is a great resume for 2 games.
11 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State Road wins at Cincinnati and at Creighton. Top 5 resume easily.
12 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Back to back wins against Oregon and then UConn deserves major respect. What more do you need to see?
13 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Hard to judge a team that lost by 5 to a great team and then demolished a couple bottom dwellers. UCLA on the 22nd will be important.
14 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Got wrecked by Duke in the opener and they don't play another top 50 team until December 22nd against UNC.
15 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Big win over Marquette. Can't say enough good things about Romeo Langford.
16 University of Nebraska-Lincoln Logo Nebraska Nebraska's narrowest victory this season was 23 points. And that was against Seton Hall.
17 Furman University Logo Furman Road wins at both Loyola Chicago and at Villanova. Who else has that?
18 University of Oregon Logo Oregon The win over Syracuse would be more impressive if they were the first team to do it.
19 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin A road win at Xavier is a great way to start the season.
20 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo Went into West Virginia's building and not only won, but won the turnover battle? Yes please.
21 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech Great second half adjustments against Purdue.
22 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State My final 4 is all undefeated teams with no good wins yet.
23 Clemson University Logo Clemson My final 4 is all undefeated teams with no good wins yet.
24 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) My final 4 is all undefeated teams with no good wins yet.
25 Mississippi State University Logo Mississippi State My final 4 is all undefeated teams with no good wins yet.
