3 | Alabama | Alabama is gonna win the SEC so I put them at No 3. |

9 | Marquette | Marquette is gonna win the Big East, thats why they are this high. |
10 | Tennessee | Tennessee lost 2 games last week but they are still a top 10 team. |
11 | Kansas State | Kansas St moved up to 11 because Iowa St lost 2 games last week. |
12 | Xavier | Same reason as Kansas St. |
13 | Baylor | Baylor has a better chance of winning the big 12 because Iowa St lost 2 games last week. |
14 | Saint Mary's | St Marys beat Gonzaga so thats why they are ahead of them. |
15 | Gonzaga | Gonzaga is right below St Marys because they lost to them. |

18 | Iowa State | Iowa St moved down a lot because of their losses to Oklahoma St and West Virginia. |
19 | TCU | Another Big 12 team that could make a deep run in March. |
20 | NC State | NC St should be higher, there are 8 loss teams higher than them. |
21 | San Diego State | SDSU is higher because they are winning a tough conference rn. |
22 | Florida Atlantic | FAU has only 2 losses so they should be on the top 25 list. |
23 | Creighton | Creighton has a lot of losses but they are getting healthy. |
24 | Duke | Duke has 7 losses so they should have been on this list last week. |
25 | Missouri | Missouri deserves to be on this list because they have pulled off a ton of upsets this year. Especially to ranked teams. |
Teams I considered but didn't make the cut: UConn, Charleston, Auburn, Illinois, Memphis, Providence and Rutgers. This is my first ranking on this website so it might be bad. These teams are all really good and they all deserve a spot on the AP poll.
