Quality wins being accrued. Ugly, but still wins. |

Great win, but not as many as KU. Doing great without their best |

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. |

Best defense in the nation, great wins so far. |

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. |

Solid rebound versus Texas |

I respect Roy Williams for going on the road, but his team has work to do. |

Needs to show it can have decent guard play to move the ball without Williams |

Two impressive road wins already. No big names beat, but road wins are undervalued. |

Chris Beard continues to impress. Culver has made great steps, Mooney filling in well. |

nsane how well they're doing even without Lard and Wigginton. I expect them to reach top 10 at some point. |

Slightly underwhelming wins despite being undefeated. Should be able to shoot up my rankings if they win more. |

[Justification for UK not being ranked: They got destroyed in their only tough game and have not been walloping their bad opponents] |

I am a coward for not ranking Furman, I know. But I had to put Texas and Buffalo in. |
