| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
Kentucky struggled, but they're still undefeated. |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
Virginia struggled less, but I still believe Kentucky is a better overall team. It's close. |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
They took care of business this week. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
Villanova beat a quality St. Johns team this week on the road. In a week, where top teams struggled on the road, Villanova delivered. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
A loss to NC State isn't the end of the world. The team is young and will learn from this. vs Mami will be a way to test their toughness. |
| 6 |
Louisville
|
A loss @North Carolina isn't the end of the world. Both losses are to top opponents on the road. |
| 7 |
Wisconsin
|
Even with Kaminsky out, Wisconsin should have enough talent to take care of Rutgers. |
| 8 |
Utah
|
They keep winning and looking impressive while doing it. Both losses are to ranked teams. |
| 9 |
Wichita State
|
I jumped them from #13 last week because of all the muck in between 9-20. They have been on a roll since their loss to GW. |
| 10 |
Kansas
|
See Wichita State and replace GW with Temple. |
| 11 |
Notre Dame
|
There is no shame in losing to Virginia, even at home. Notre Dame has quality wins against MSU and now UNC. |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
A heartbreaking loss to Notre Dame is followed by a tough victory against Louisville. Paige might have his mojo back. |
| 13 |
Maryland
|
Maryland learned how tough the B1G is on the road @ Ilinois, but rebounded against a Purdue team that looks tough in conference play. |
| 14 |
Iowa State
|
Iowa State rebounded nicely after their loss to South Carolina with two solid top 50 wins. |
| 15 |
Arizona
|
Arizona should never lose to this version of Oregon State, who had to fill out their roster with open tryouts to compete. |
| 16 |
VCU
|
VCU has won eight straight since losing to Virginia a month ago. |
| 17 |
West Virginia
|
Losing to a quality Iowa State team isn't bad, especially with the Big 12 grind. |
| 18 |
Oklahoma
|
A great win against Texas is followed by a head-scratching loss to Kansas State. |
| 19 |
Arkansas
|
Arkansas keeps winning as conference play starts. |

Texas dropped two games against solid conference opponents in Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. |

Seton Hall went 1-1 in the Big East. |

Oklahoma State

Oklahoma State went 1-1 this week, losing to a strong Iowa State team before upsetting Texas.. |
| 23 |

Michigan State has looked rejuvenated after their loss at home to Maryland. They have a chance for payback Saturday. |
| 24 |
Providence

Butler went 2-0 this week with good wins over Butler and Georgetown. |

Wyoming has won the last seven games. It was a tough choice between them, Ohio State, Northern Iowa, and Baylor. |
