17 | Gonzaga | The Zags are gonna need some blowouts if they want to move much higher. They did get a couple this week. |
18 | Nebraska | |
19 | West Virginia | New to ballot. Look out, West Virginia is back. After being under the radar for a while, the Mountaineers picked up a stunning win over Kansas. Darian DeVries has something special. |
20 | Oklahoma | |
21 | UCLA | |
22 | Utah State | |
23 | Michigan | New to ballot. Dusty May wrecked the Muss Bus. The Wolverines are really tough, and Danny Wolf and Vlad Goldin are absolute monsters. |

25 | St. Bonaventure | New to ballot. The Bonnies are legit, one of only eight one-loss teams in the country, all of whom appear on this ballot or in the almost famous section. Melvin Council and Noel Brown are just deadly. |
