| 4 | Iowa State | +1 |
| 5 | UConn | +2 |
| 6 | North Carolina | +2 |
| 7 | Houston | +2 |
| 8 | Kentucky | +9, Pope is better built for the modern age of CBB than Calipari and he’s gonna prove it |

| 11 | Baylor | |
| 12 | Tennessee | +1 |
| 13 | Duke | -8 |
| 14 | Alabama | -10 |

| 16 | Wisconsin | NR, that game was pretty…foul |
| 17 | Texas A&M | +8, Obaseki looks like an NBA player with how he can drive+finish, fouls he drew were pretty much the difference in the game |

| 19 | Creighton | -4, ditto |
| 20 | Cincinnati | -4, ditto |
| 21 | Florida | |
| 22 | Arizona | -10, probably too harsh but they’re here for now |
| 23 | Texas Tech | NR, Jeff Linder revenge game went pretty well |
| 24 | Texas | -1 |
| 25 | LSU | NR, third time’s the charm for LSU/McMahon vs KSU/Tang, so maybe McMahon can figure it out |
