1 Duke Dominant wins against bye week teams and the talent is talenting
2 Florida Missed some opportunities to put Miami away early but they are clearly in contention for the #1 spot
3Illinois Looked like a top tier team playing bye week opponents
4 UConn Good minutes from the stars but fouls and missed opportunities may be an issue down the stretch, Hurley will adjust
5 Michigan State
6Texas
7 Virginia Great victory over Arkansas, starters looked great
8 Tennessee
9Houston
10Arizona
11 Louisville
12 St. John's

14 Gonzaga Zag defense makes up for an offense that wll benefit from Huff getting back to where he was last season.
15Arkansas Calipari's young team has some work to do after the Virginia loss
16 Kansas
17 UCLA Great performance from UCLA, it's clear that they are on a mission this season
18 Miami (FL) Miami kept the game closer than I expected, there's a lot of promise in this team
19 Michigan Communication, defense, offense, passing, and shot selection all need some work for the defending champs but they did expose some cracks in UConn
20Alabama
21 Iowa State A loss to a good Memphis team reveals a number of issues for the Cyclones
22 USC
23 Kentucky
24 BYU Good win over Ohio State
25 Saint Louis St. Louis picks up where they left off last year, potentially including having Avila back

Overall Rationale

Lot of gimme games for the top 25 last week, but the few tests revealed a lot about the teams in contention for the national championship this year.
