Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kansas | (+0) Still look very good, Vick's a decent basketball player. |
2 | Gonzaga | (+0) Still have great wins and no losses, schedule gets trickier here. |
3 | Duke | (+0) Lots of talent, not unshakeable but very big threat. |
4 | Michigan | (+3) They're blowing out everyone they play and look very scary, Beilein has everyone firing on all cylinders. |
5 | Tennessee | (-1) Still have their only loss against Kansas, big contender in the SEC |
6 | Virginia | (-1) Good victory over a good Maryland team |
7 | Nevada | (-1) Dispatching Loyola and USC is good, this team is living up to the hype. |
8 | Kentucky | (+1) Haven't faltered yet where other teams have, pulled away from a good Greensboro team late. |
9 | Auburn | (+2) They've only faltered by almost beating Duke, good three-horse race in the SEC so far |
10 | Texas Tech | (+3) A bunch of garbage games right now but Duke in a couple of weeks will be really exciting |
11 | Michigan State | (-3) Tough game against Louisville but then they're on they're on. |
12 | Virginia Tech | (+2) Losing to Penn St isn't ideal but a lot of teams lost and I still like the look of this team |
13 | Florida State | (+6) Have some big wins so far |
14 | North Carolina | (-2) Still think they're a good team but they are losing recently and have a tough schedule approaching. |
15 | Ohio State | (+2) Not as good as NET first had them but they're a solid team. |
16 | Wisconsin | (+4) Great win over the Hawkeyes to begin the BIG self-cannibalism that's about to occur |
17 | Maryland | (+6) They've only lost to Virginia, and that was a close affair |
18 | Kansas State | (-3) Never was very high on this team but they are still playing good |
19 | Iowa State | (NR) Well balanced team I think people should be paying more attention to. |
20 | Villanova | (+5) Playing better after an early collapse is a good sign Wright is working well with the new guys |
21 | Buffalo | (NR) Took out San Francisco and keep rolling, this team doesn't have a lot of losses in their future. |
22 | Houston | (NR) Making is this far undefeated is a good accomplishment even without the greatest competition. |
23 | Arizona State | (NR) Haven't lost yet but Nevada game will be very interesting. |
24 | Purdue | (-3) Not a good look against Michigan but this team is pretty good they just have some tough losses. |
25 | St. John's | (NR) Next five: Iowa, Creighton, Nebraska, Mississippi St, Florida |
