RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke 0
2 University of Virginia Logo Virginia 0
3 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada 0
4 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga 0
5 University of Kansas Logo Kansas 0 I guess LaGerald Vick saw all of my trash talking online? He saved the Jayhawks this week.
6 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina +1 I keep going back and forth on UNC or Tennessee at No. 6. UNC has really dominated the competition so far.
7 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee -1
8 Auburn University Logo Auburn +1
9 University of Michigan Logo Michigan +8 Now with the No. 1 defense in the country! (According to KenPom)
10 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State +2
11 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State 0
12 Florida State University Logo Florida State +2
13 University of Oregon Logo Oregon +2
14 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech +3
15 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky -2
16 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse -8 An awful week for Syracuse. I can’t really drop them any further than this. There’s talent there, but they miss Howard.
17 Villanova University Logo Villanova -7 Ditto for Villanova. I’m not sure what to do with either team at this point. You could drop either from top 25.
18 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana 0 A mixed bag, but an overall positive week after soundly beating Marquette, only to drop one to Arkansas.
19 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) 0 Had their worst game of the year against Bethune-Cookman.
20 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin +1 Really liked what I saw from them against Xavier. Again feeling optimistic about the Badgers.
21 Purdue University Logo Purdue +3 I know they lost to Virginia Tech, but again, feeling even better about this team than I did in the preseason.
22 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State 0 Big matchup against Mississippi St. Monday night. Expect to see the victor in this spot next week.
23 Louisiana State University Logo LSU 0
24 University of Nebraska-Lincoln Logo Nebraska NR They’ve done everything they needed to do so far … and creamed Seton Hall. It’s time to reward Nebrasketball.
25 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo 0 Could’ve gone with cinderella Furman in this spot, but let’s keep Nate Oats on our alter for now.
