| 5 | Virginia | New-age Virginia |
| 6 | Texas | |
| 7 | Louisville | |
| 8 | Michigan State | |
| 9 | St. John's | |
| 10 | BYU | Who thought it would be a good idea to schedule BYU at Salt Lake City without a return game at Nationwide Arena? Ohio State. |

| 12 | Texas Tech | |
| 13 | Houston | |
| 14 | Tennessee | |
| 15 | Arizona | |
| 16 | LSU | The version of LSU playing right now is a great-to-elite team but the situation is obviously volatile |

| 18 | Texas A&M | |
| 19 | Miami (FL) | Looked legit even in defeat |
| 20 | Memphis | Out of nowhere |
| 21 | Vanderbilt | Wake Forest is very mid but still a nice 20 point win for future Ohio State coach Mark Byington |
| 22 | Nebraska | |
| 23 | Gonzaga | |
| 24 | Michigan | Lost the most important UConn-TTUN matchup in the past year ✅ |
| 25 | Marquette | Holding a team to thirty-two points is unbelievable |
