| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arizona | It’s for sure a little odd putting them at 1, but I think the win over Florida is the best win of the first week, and I try to have little poll inertia for the first few weeks of college basketball. |

Done Monday (technically) at 12:30 am. I wonder if anyone else will have Arizona at 1? I didn’t look as much into it tonight as I went to the Baylor game and need sleep. I’ll probably start doing these on Saturday tbh, hopefully with a write up for my rankings.
