1 University of Kansas Logo Kansas (+0) Still look very good, Vick's a decent basketball player.
2 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga (+0) Still have great wins and no losses, schedule gets trickier here.
3 Duke University Logo Duke (+0) Lots of talent, not unshakeable but very big threat.
4 University of Michigan Logo Michigan (+3) They're blowing out everyone they play and look very scary, Beilein has everyone firing on all cylinders.
5 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee (-1) Still have their only loss against Kansas, big contender in the SEC
6 University of Virginia Logo Virginia (-1) Good victory over a good Maryland team
7 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada (-1) Dispatching Loyola and USC is good, this team is living up to the hype.
8 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky (+1) Haven't faltered yet where other teams have, pulled away from a good Greensboro team late.
9 Auburn University Logo Auburn (+2) They've only faltered by almost beating Duke, good three-horse race in the SEC so far
10 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech (+3) A bunch of garbage games right now but Duke in a couple of weeks will be really exciting
11 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State (-3) Tough game against Louisville but then they're on they're on.

16 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin (+4) Great win over the Hawkeyes to begin the BIG self-cannibalism that's about to occur
