| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | Yeah I get it looks like a homer pick, but 4 P6 wins, including two double digit wins against top 10 teams is the best resume in the country for now. | 
| 2 | Virginia | Note on my process: if you haven't beaten any team that has a chance in hell at an large AND have multiple losses, I don't rank you. Sorry UCLA, UK, and UNC. You'll be in soon I assume. | 
| 3 | Houston | |
| 4 | Arizona | |
| 5 | Texas | |
| 6 | Baylor | |
| 7 | UConn | |
| 8 | Tennessee | |
| 9 | Kansas | |
| 10 | Creighton | |
| 11 | Indiana | |
| 12 | Gonzaga | |
| 13 | Arkansas | |
| 14 | Auburn | |
| 15 | Maryland | |
| 16 | Alabama | |
| 17 | Duke | |
| 18 | San Diego State | |
| 19 | Ohio State | |
| 20 | Michigan State | |
| 21 | Illinois | |
| 22 | Mississippi State | |
| 23 | West Virginia | |
| 24 | Sam Houston | Probably not actually top 25 but 2 away wins at P6 teams is the best mid-major resume out there right now, deserves recognition. | 
| 25 | Oklahoma | 17-25 was tough. Could rearrange them in almost any order. |
