RankTeamReason
1 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Quality wins being accrued. Ugly, but still wins.
2 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Great win, but not as many as KU. Doing great without their best
3 Duke University Logo Duke Any of these top 5 teams could be in any of the top 5 spots. Duke is the most talented, but needs to finish and win.
4 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Best defense in the nation, great wins so far.
5 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Business as usual
6 Auburn University Logo Auburn
7 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech
8 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada I want to rank them #4 so badly -- I think they're that good -- but their "prove it" games come in the next few weeks.
9 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Solid rebound versus Texas
10 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina I respect Roy Williams for going on the road, but his team has work to do.
11 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Needs to show it can have decent guard play to move the ball without Williams
12 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State Two impressive road wins already. No big names beat, but road wins are undervalued.
13 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Nerf Ethan Happ
14 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Chris Beard continues to impress. Culver has made great steps, Mooney filling in well.
15 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL)
16 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State
17 Florida State University Logo Florida State
18 University of Oregon Logo Oregon
19 Purdue University Logo Purdue
20 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State nsane how well they're doing even without Lard and Wigginton. I expect them to reach top 10 at some point.
21 Mississippi State University Logo Mississippi State
22 University of Iowa Logo Iowa
23 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State Slightly underwhelming wins despite being undefeated. Should be able to shoot up my rankings if they win more.
24 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas [Justification for UK not being ranked: They got destroyed in their only tough game and have not been walloping their bad opponents]
25 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo I am a coward for not ranking Furman, I know. But I had to put Texas and Buffalo in.
