Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan | Michigan is still undefeated and going strong. |
2 | Duke | Dominant as usual against Clemson. |
3 | Tennessee | Tennessee is looking very scary in the SEC. |
4 | Virginia | Huge win over a top 10 ranked Florida State. |
5 | Gonzaga | Gonzaga is still hanging around with their only losses to ranked opponents. |
6 | Michigan State | Michigan State looks like the 2nd best team in the Big 10 with a statement over Ohio State. |
7 | Virginia Tech | The Hokies are looking like strong contenders in the ACC. |
8 | North Carolina | UNC moves up with losses by Nevada, Kansas, and Foorida State. |
9 | Texas Tech | Tech moves up, same as North Carolina. My favorite for the Big 12 title. |
10 | Nevada | Huge blowout loss to New Mexico, hopefully it's just a fluke. |
11 | Kansas | With a loss to Iowa State, it's looking like Kansas might not win the Big 12 this year. |
12 | Florida State | Close loss to a very good Virginia team, Florida State is still a very solid team. |
13 | Marquette | The loss to St. John's hurts but I still think Marquette can win the Big East |
14 | NC State | NC State is my 6th ACC team in the top 15, this conference will be a bloodbath. |
15 | Oklahoma | Oklahoma is way better than many people are giving them credit for. |
16 | Ohio State | Hard loss to Michigan State, the Buckeyes will rebound this week against Rutgers. |
17 | Auburn | Now's the time for Auburn to prove that they are as elite as everyone claims. |
18 | Mississippi State | Mississippi State has been up and down. They need to put on a strong showing in the upcoming games. |
19 | Buffalo | Buffalo will run the table in the MAC. |
20 | Houston | Houston is still undefeated, tough challenge coming up with a Temple team coming off a win at Wichita State. |
21 | Kentucky | Huge loss to a weaker Alabama team to open up SEC play, not too worrying as it was on the road. |
22 | Iowa State | Iowa State seems to have come out of nowhere, but are 12-2 with a huge win over Kansas and could possibly challenge for the Big 12 title. |
23 | Minnesota | Huge win over Wisconsin on the road, with a weaker schedule coming up the Gophers need to take advantage to gain some momentum. |
24 | St. John's | Let's face it, St. John's should be undefeated but rebounded nicely with a win over Marquette. |
25 | TCU | TCU has probably been one of the quietest one loss teams so far, only time can tell how good they will be. |
