| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | |
| 2 | Kansas | |
| 3 | Houston | cannot wait to see this team in B12 play |
| 4 | UConn | Could’ve docked them harder for losing to Seton Hall but opted not to |
| 5 | Illinois | Illinois is top 5. Don’t ask, the middle part of the top 25 is really weird this year |
| 6 | Tennessee | 5-11 was really really hard to pick this week. Basically picked based off vibes and h2h |
| 7 | Marquette | |
| 8 | Florida Atlantic | Loss to Illinois docks FAU down a tier from Illinois and Tennessee |
| 9 | Arizona | |
| 10 | Kentucky | |
| 11 | North Carolina | |
| 12 | BYU | Kenneth Pomeroy merchants??? The people are asking |
| 13 | Oklahoma | |
| 14 | Colorado State | |
| 15 | Memphis | |
| 16 | Auburn | Will probably be unranked for no reason again |
| 17 | James Madison | Favored in every remaining game ROS, they threaten to remain undefeated deep into 2024 |
| 18 | Clemson | |
| 19 | Duke | |
| 20 | Baylor | |
| 21 | Ole Miss | |
| 22 | Gonzaga | |
| 23 | Wisconsin | |
| 24 | Colorado | |
| 25 | Providence | This might be bold, might be basic, idk, we’ll see |
Almost forgot. Most weeks it’s about 15-25 that gives me issues. That honestly wasn’t bad this week, it was 5-11 that I spent far and away the most time trying to sort out. Merry Christmas.
