RankTeamReason
1 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Maybe have had the toughest 5 game schedule in the country and they're undefeated.
2 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Riding high from the big win over Duke
3 Duke University Logo Duke Proved that they aren't perfect, just amazing.
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Now with a win over Wisconsin, you can no longer say they haven't beaten anyone good.
5 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina The 3 point loss to Texas isn't a bad loss at all, but it's the "worst loss" of any team in my top 5.
6 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada Two road games this week against Loyola Chicago and USC. Possibly their best chance for a loss all season.
7 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Forcing OT against Kansas reinforces that I had them last week exactly where they belonged.
8 Auburn University Logo Auburn
9 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State
10 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Big game coming up against UNC on the 28th.
11 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State I'm still super impressed by the road wins at Cincinnati and at Creighton.
12 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Undefeated with wins over Oregon and UConn. They belong here.
13 Furman University Logo Furman Two road wins against good teams, one ranked at the time, and no losses. Too high? I'll drop them when they lose.
14 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Other than dropping a game to what now looks like a legit Iowa team, there's nothing to complain about with the Ducks.
15 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana A 1 point road loss at Arkansas is their only loss.
16 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Creampuff schedule. They're 0-1 against top 50 teams. No idea how to rank them. Resume alone, this isn't a top 25 team right now.
17 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech I'm basing this ranking mostly on the win over Purdue.
18 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Undefeated with a big win over Nebraska last week.
19 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas
20 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo The Bulls continue to roll through everyone. Last week they won both games by a combined 66 points.
21 Florida State University Logo Florida State The wins over Florida and LSU both sounded much better at the time.
22 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas Handed Indiana their only loss.
23 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin
24 University of Nebraska-Lincoln Logo Nebraska Road game at Clemson tomorrow. I have faith that Nebraska will pull it out. But if Clemson wins they'll be about here next week.
25 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State 6-0 with no good wins yet. Tough game at Marquette is coming up on the 1st.
