Still high on the Zags, they have one of the most impressive wins of the year thus far and look like a well-oiled machine.
2
Auburn
They've demolished everyone they've played except for Houston, where they still won.
3
Kansas
I'm still not really sold on KU, I mean Michigan State did play them pretty close and likely would've won (and been ranked) if they had just made a couple 3's
4
Houston
Houston's defense is still dominant, as shown by a 46 point win over the Cajuns
5
UConn
KenPom and Torvik are shockingly sorta low on UConn compared to years past, but they've rolled everyone they've played thus far.
6
Alabama
Put up a good fight but couldn't beat Purdue at home, had to drop them some but they're still gonna be good.
7
Duke
Lost to UK but still showed that they are the real deal, especially Cooper Flagg.
8
Kentucky
UK is also the real deal. Experience won out over talent in the end and it resulted in Pope's first signature win.
9
Purdue
Impressive home win over Alabama, who I thought was good enough to overcome the environment at Mackey
10
Tennessee
Tennessee still looks solid, not much to recap from this week for them though.
11
North Carolina
Seems like UNC starts out slow but comes to life in a big way in the second half.
12
Iowa State
I hate to keep dropping ISU but basically everyone above them looks more impressive for now, I still like this team though.
13
Illinois
Maybe I'm wrong to be high on Illinois, I mean they did only beat Oakland by 12, but I still have a good feeling about this team.
14
Baylor
They've certainly played better ever since they got whipped by Gonzaga, just waiting for their next big game.
15
Creighton
Creighton really hasn't played anyone but they are at least winning by wider margins now after getting a scare from UTRGV
16
St. John's
Father still knows best in the Pitino family, and I thought the Lobos would be tougher to beat.
17
Arizona
Pretty bad loss for Arizona in an absolute slog of a game against Wisconsin, who I'm still not too high on yet.
18
Marquette
Close but gritty win against Maryland, I'm still kinda liking what I see from Marquette
19
Arkansas
I continue to be unimpressed by Arkansas, especially after they struggled for a bit against Troy, but they did still win.
20
Mississippi State
Probably the most underrated SEC team right now.
21
Cincinnati
I think I was wrong to underestimate Cincy in the preseason, they've looked good so far.
22
Texas A&M
They beat an Ohio State team that I was pretty high on, convincingly too.
23
Ohio State
I still think OSU will end up being a contender in the B10, still gotta lower them for getting clipped by A&M.
24
Indiana
I'm finally starting to believe in IU, I just wish Woodson actually believed in shooting 3's.
25
Florida
Allegations aside, I think Golden does have a good team here, it's just a matter of how much longer he'll be the coach.
