|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kansas | Best resume and extending that lead |
| 2 | Purdue | More impressive set of wins than Houston |

| 7 | Xavier | Best team in Big East so far |
| 8 | Arizona | This team is confusing |
| 9 | UConn | Will the real UConn please stand up? |
| 10 | Tennessee | This team would be amazing if not for the complete offensive lapses they go through |
| 11 | Kansas State | Nothing wrong with losing at TCU |
| 12 | Iowa State | Nothing wrong with losing in AFH |
| 13 | Charleston | Give these guys a protected seed in March! |
| 14 | Texas | Did we write them off too fast after the K st game? |

| 21 | Rutgers | A third of the way through conference season and they are B1G title candidates |
| 22 | NC State | These guys are better than expected |
| 23 | Marquette | Can't drop them much after Xavier loss |
| 24 | TCU | Big 12 games are all tough |
