| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
(--) CONFERENCE PLAY! |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
(--) or alternatively, the "I just got back on campus" edition of rankings |
| 3 |
Michigan
|
(--) top 3 all hold with good weeks of at least one conference win |
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
(+2) Bevo couldn't kill Uga, but that basketball game probably did |
| 5 |
Michigan State
|
(+3) I'm still not sure Northwestern didn't just dress a rec team and call it a day |
| 6 |
Gonzaga
|
(+1) in comes Gonzaga's annual slow smear up the polls as they simply don't lose to inferior competition |
| 7 |
Virginia Tech
|
(+3) there's a lot of stock in winning this week, no? |
| 8 |
Kansas
|
(-3) no Azubuike, but they're still winning the Big XII this year and you know it |
| 9 |
Mississippi State
|
(+2) shoutout to the SEC for starting conference play a week late, way to be edgy and different |
| 10 |
Florida State
|
(-1) @Virginia is not a punishment I'd wish on any team, it's like getting sentenced to watching yourself get encased in concrete |
| 11 |
North Carolina
|
(+1) putting a 3-loss team this close to the top 10 this early in the season feels wrong |
| 12 |
Auburn
|
(+1) |
| 13 |
Nevada
|
(-9) fun fact: to date, New Mexico (144) has nearly twice the KP rating of New Mexico St. (75). their best win? New Mexico... twice. |
| 14 |
Houston
|
(+2) |
| 15 |
NC State
|
(+4) |
| 16 |
Texas Tech
|
(+4) I want to like you guys despite my tough love, please stop making these games so close |
| 17 |
St. John's
|
(NR) they've proved to me that the Seton Hall game was legitimate robbery, welcome back to the big time |
| 18 |
Buffalo
|
(+3) |
| 19 |
Oklahoma
|
(-1) sometimes you lose games you're supposed to lose... |
| 20 |
Iowa State
|
(NR) ...and sometimes you just punch a team square in the face in games like that. |
| 21 |
Kentucky
|
(-7) which Kentucky is coming out game to game? maybe this is why SEC conference play isn't really starting until this week |
| 22 |
Marquette
|
(-5) everyone in the back end of last week's rankings lost, who to bump and who to keep? these guys have the best loss of the rest |
| 23 |
TCU
|
(NR) P6 team currently 12-1? wins aren't fantastic, but it's better than the field at this time |
| 24 |
Indiana
|
(-2) half of this conference is on the fringe and I can only rank two of them here, let's take @Michigan as the worst beat of the week |
| 25 |
Wisconsin
|
(-10) your non-con wins are so yummy, so you get one last chance to prove yourselves -- DROPPED: Seton Hall 23, Ohio St. 24, Cincinnati 25 |
