| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arizona | |
| 2 | Duke | +1 Duke's win at Louisville makes them look really incredible. Still not quite at Arizona's level, however. |
| 3 | Iowa State | +1 |
| 4 | Gonzaga | +1 |
| 5 | Purdue | +2 |
| 6 | Houston | +2 Good win against Texas Tech, but maybe they should have won by more, given it was a home game |
| 7 | UConn | -1 Their comback win against providence was great and all, being down by 10 that late is going to lose against a better team. |
| 8 | Michigan | -6 Losing to an unranked team on your home court is not a good look. They were dominant early, but they can't be having games like this. They also got scarily close against multiple other unrankeds. |
| 9 | Texas Tech | Kept it close against Houston! Not close enough. |
| 10 | BYU | |
| 11 | Vanderbilt | +1 Convincing win against Alabama! They only go up one spot because I felt like the gap between 10 and 11 was just very large. Not as large now, though! |
| 12 | Nebraska | +1 Epic comeback victory against Indiana! They're gonna stay undefeated a while, aren't they? |
| 13 | Florida | -2 Didn't include their loss last week into their rankings. They did bite right back and beat two ranked teams back-to-back following, though! |
| 14 | Michigan State | +2 |
| 15 | Illinois | +6 Literally the six teams above them lost lmao |
| 16 | Arkansas | -2 Lost, but so did everyone else lol |
| 17 | Alabama | -2 Lost, but so did everyone else lol |
| 18 | Tennessee | -1 Lost, but so did everyone else lol |
| 19 | Louisville | -1 Lost, but so did everyone else lol |
| 20 | Virginia | +2 |
| 21 | Kansas | -2 Lost, but so did everyone else lol |
| 22 | George Mason | +3 HOLY SHIT THEY BEAT VCU THIS IS NOT A DRILL |
| 23 | Clemson | +1 |
| 24 | Saint Louis | +2 They had a convincing win against VCU! Although their loss to Stanford IMO was worse than GMU's loss to Virginia Tech. |
| 25 | Missouri | +1 They got some damn good wins this week! |
-2 Iowa lost to Illinois at home. SMH.
