| 3 | UConn | -2 |
| 4 | Alabama | +2 |
| 5 | Houston | -1 |

| 9 | Gonzaga | 0 |
| 10 | Virginia | 0 |
| 11 | UCLA | 0 |
| 12 | Texas | 0 |

| 16 | Indiana | 0 |
| 17 | Duke | 0 |
| 18 | TCU | +3 |
| 19 | Missouri | +3 |

| 24 | Kansas State | NR Hot take of the week #1! |
| 25 | Florida Atlantic | NR Hot take of the week #2! 12(10)-1 with 2 Q1s and the loss isn't bad really |
