| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Michigan | +1 Had a scare against Northwestern, but their potential is pretty insane |
| 2 | Duke | +2 Good clemson win |
| 3 | Houston | |
| 4 | Arizona | -3 The titan has fallen... and then fell for the curse of undefeated teams losing two consecutive games |
| 5 | UConn | Scare against Georgetown but they pulled through I suppose |
| 6 | Gonzaga | |
| 7 | Texas Tech | +3 How did this team lose to UCF in Texas? |
| 8 | Kansas | +1 I can't NOT move them up after dethroning the number one team. |
| 9 | Michigan State | -1 They lost to Wisconsin but like everyone around them also lost so idk. |
| 10 | Iowa State | -3 I don't know what to do with this. They lost to frickin TCU and then beat Kansas, which just beat Arizona? Home field advantage is insane? But also won @Purdue?? |
| 11 | Purdue | +3 I would put higher but I can't reasonably put them above Iowa State after what happened near the start of the season. |
| 12 | Florida | Their computer rankings are really good, but they have some bad losses. Scary march team. Would move up but unfortunate positioning. |
| 13 | Arkansas | +2 One of the few teams not to lose? |
| 14 | Illinois | -3 |
| 15 | Nebraska | -2 Purdue is TOUGH but like, IDK it's not what you want to see. |
| 16 | Virginia | +1 |
| 17 | Louisville | +1 |
| 18 | BYU | -2 You shouldn't need OT to beat this Colorodo team |
| 19 | Kentucky | Florida is a fine team to lose to, but they're on thin ice. |
| 20 | Tennessee | +1 This team is weird. They're like the best team that doesn't do anything. Should be lower but IDK who to put above them |
| 21 | Saint Louis | +1 |
| 22 | Wisconsin | +4 Jesus Christ they're cooking. Idk where to put this team--they've beaten three top 15 teams, but then they've also lost to USC and Villanova |
| 23 | Vanderbilt | |
| 24 | St. John's | +1 |
| 25 | Miami (OH) | +1 Sure dude. Undefeated IS undefeated, after all. |
North Carolina -2 Bad loss to Miami, and without Caleb Wilson they're just about nothing. UCF -6 Yeah they beat Texas Tech but they also lost to Cincinnati and (hosting) WV. General groups with large gaps in between: 1, 2-4, 5-7, 8-12, 13-17, 18-25.
