The lone "power conference" undefeated team also has three top 20 wins.
2
Michigan
Flawless, minus a home blip against a top 40 Wisconsin.
3
Duke
Five top 20 wins and one loss by one point against a ranked team? I nearly put Duke ahead of Michigan.
4
UConn
Four top 20 wins and only one loss, against my #1 team? I nearly put UConn ahead of Duke AND Michigan.
5
Illinois
Has put together an elite group of wins against a trio of truly "quality losses".
6
Nebraska
Played two teams in my five, lost them both. Two losses shouldn't drop Nebraska far.
7
Iowa State
That Purdue win is carrying Iowa State right now.
8
Michigan State
Five top 40 wins and they have only lost against teams in my top six. Michigan State is good.
9
Houston
Can they please get to the meat of their schedule so I can stop putting them here?
10
Gonzaga
One of the weirdest resumes of the season, five top 40 wins but no top 15, only one loss but it was a generational obliteration against Michigan.
11
Florida
The Gators are hot. Won 7/8, 11/13, and just demolished Alabama.
12
Purdue
Lost 3/4 but I still like their wins.
13
Vanderbilt
Still no elite wins but they're generally doing everything else right, 4 wins in the top 40 and only losses are top 40.
14
Kansas
Is heating up. Four wins in the top 26, just beat BYU, won five straight, they're looking dangerous.
15
Texas Tech
3 top 25 wins, 2 of which are top five, and before the UCF loss their worst loss was against Arkansas.
16
Virginia
Keeps on winning.
17
Arkansas
I thought they would move lower than this but the UK loss wasn't horrible from a resume standpoint, and their best wins are really good.
18
BYU
If they lose to any bad team they might jump straight to the unranked pile. BYU has only 1 top thirty win.
19
Tennessee
Big jump, but the Vols have won 4/5 and just took out would-be ranked Georgia and Auburn.
20
Miami (OH)
I don't know how much higher they can go without an eye catching win, but they're guaranteed a ranking as long as their undefeated.
21
Saint Louis
Unlike Miami, has a top 40 win (Santa Clara). Unlike Miami, has a loss.
22
Texas A&M
Their resume was not good enough when I did my initial ranking, but it's time to rank the SEC leaders. I don't think they will win the SEC, but they deserve a rank this week.
23
Alabama
Living on their early season success. Alabama is not far from being dropped.
24
North Carolina
Hanging on for dear life. Wins over Kansas and Virginia are great and the win over Kentucky is aging well.
25
Louisville
Got demolished by Duke on Monday. I wanted to unrank them but my 26th team was Kentucky, and I didn't feel like answering questions about that kind of switch.
