| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arizona | +1 |
| 2 | Purdue | -1, could've easily kept them at 1 but felt like Zona deserved it by still being unbeaten |

| 4 | Kansas | +1 |
| 5 | UConn | -2 |
| 6 | Baylor | +4 |
| 7 | Creighton | Same |
| 8 | North Carolina | +13, Another huge jump but I feel like it's been earned the past 2 weeks |
| 9 | Marquette | -3 |
| 10 | Gonzaga | +6 |
| 11 | Miami (FL) | -2 |
| 12 | Texas | +6, Similar reasoning as FAU this week but a huge opportunity to prove it this week |
| 13 | Florida Atlantic | +10, Huge jump but this week was crazy so I had a hard time not putting them this high |
| 14 | Tennessee | -3, 3 tough losses in a row to good teams but I still think they're a really solid team |

| 18 | Ohio State | +7 |
