Submitted on Sunday, January 18, 2015 at 7:30PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
Absolutely clobbered two SEC teams this week. Seems like Kentucky is regaining some of that early-season form. |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
Handled Clemson, then won convincingly on the road against a sneaky-good Boston College team. |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
Two wins, though that Pepperdine victory was a little too close for comfort. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
Also went 2-0 this week. Really view them as tied with Gonzaga for #3. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
Duke doesn't move in my poll. Yes, they had a bad loss at Miami, but they rebounded with a huge road win at Louisville. |
| 6 |
Louisville
|
Speaking of Louisville, they also stay put in my poll. All of their losses are to elite teams. |
| 7 |
Arizona
|
Arizona moves back into the Top 10 with a huge win over a hot Utah squad. |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
North Carolina moves up thanks to a big road win at NC State, followed by a home win over Va Tech. |
| 9 |
Notre Dame
|
Notre Dame also moves up 1, but they had two nail-bitters this week against Georgia Tech and Miami. |
| 10 |
Iowa State
|
Had a tough loss at Baylor, but also beat a good Kansas squad at Hilton Coliseum. |
| 11 |
Maryland
|
Had two B1G wins this week. The 16-point win over Michigan State being extra impressive. |
| 12 |
Wichita State
|
Shockers did what they had to this week against Southern Illinois and Evansville. For me, #12 sounds right. |
| 13 |
Wisconsin
|
Beat a Nebraska team that looked like they were back on the right track. Tuesday's game against Iowa will be good. |
| 14 |
Utah
|
You had to figure Utah would eventually slip up in conference play. Now, let's see how they bounce back from this. |
| 15 |
VCU
|
Had close wins against Duquesne and Rhode Island, but I'll give VCU credit since they were both on the road. |
| 16 |
Kansas
|
It's hard for me to figure out if Kansas is gonna be able to crack the Top 10 again this season. I'm definitely not ruling them out though. |
| 17 |
Texas
|
Texas has teetered on the brink of being a Top 25 team, but that 27-point win over West Virginia firmly plants them in my polls this week. |
| 18 |
Northern Iowa
|
Beat Bradley and Missouri State. Starting to think they're more than just a team to put near the bottom of my polls. |
| 19 |
Indiana
|
Two (close) wins over B1G opponents has Indiana back in my polls this week. |
| 20 |
San Diego State
|
Been a few weeks since I last ranked the Aztecs, but SDSU finds its way back thanks to a big road win at Wyoming. |
| 21 |
Dayton
|
Dayton enters my poll for the first time this season. Had double-digit wins over La Salle and Saint Louis. |
| 22 |
NC State
|
The Wolfpack drop a spot after losing by 2 to North Carolina. Still like them as a Top 25 team. |
| 23 |
Colorado State
|
The Rams bounce back into the poll after a 1-week absence, thanks in large part to winning their two games by a combined 87 points. |
| 24 |
West Virginia
|
WVU decided to mess with Texas in Austin, and proceeded to lose by 27. They hang on to a spot due to their win over Oklahoma. |
| 25 |
Oklahoma
|
Beat Oklahoma State, but got blown out by West Virginia. |
