| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  | Florida | The Gators keep cruising along, but will face tough games this week against bubble teams Vandy and LSU. | 3 |
| 2 |  | Wichita State | The Shockers are two games away from a perfect regular season. Bradley and Missouri State stand in the way. | 2 |
| 3 |  | Syracuse | Rarely, if ever, has a team lost twice and must be seriously considered to stay at #1. UF and Zona also have 2 losses. | 1 |
| 4 |  | Arizona | Arizona had a strong week, heading to the mountains and beating both Utah and Colorado. | 4 |
| 5 |  | Duke | There is a lot to talk about with Duke. They beat Georgia Tech and Syracuse and lost to North Carolina. | 7 |
| 6 |  | Louisville | Louisville picked up a huge win over Cincy, but a trip to Memphis could end their six game winning streak. | 6 |
| 7 |  | Kansas | The Jayhawks absolutely crushed Texas. This week they can win the Big 12 title against OU and OSU. | 10 |
| 8 |  | Saint Louis | With wins over Mason and Washington, Saint Louis increases their winning streak to 19 in a row. | 8 |
| 9 |  | Villanova | Villanova snuck away with a couple three point victories last week. Butler and Marquette are next. | 11 |
| 10 |  | Cincinnati | The AAC race has opened back after Cincy lost to Louisville on Saturday. This Saturday they head to Connecticut. | 5 |
| 11 |  | Creighton | Creighton survived a scare at home to beat Seton Hall 72-71. Their lone game this week is at Xavier on Saturday. | 14 |
| 12 |  | San Diego State | There is no shame in losing at a very, very good New Mexico squad. Those two will likely meet two more times. | 9 |
| 13 |  | Virginia | All of a sudden Virginia is sitting alone atop the ACC standings. They can stay there with a win over Syracuse. | 20 |
| 14 |  | Kentucky | Kentucky certainly dampered tournament hopes of Ole Miss and LSU last week. Randle is back on track. | 13 |
| 15 |  | Michigan | With their victory over Michigan State, the Wolverines sit alone atop the Big Ten standings. | 19 |
| 16 |  | Michigan State | Michigan State has not won two games in a row since 1/21. They get the week off to prepare for Illinois. | 12 |
| 17 |  | Iowa State | Despite the beat down at the hands of WVU, Iowa State has won six of their last seven. Revenge comes on Wed. | 15 |
| 18 |  | Wisconsin | The Badgers are on a roll (again). This time they will hope to keep it going through March. | 18 |
| 19 |  | Iowa | Iowa fell at home to Wisconsin and are now two games back in the Big Ten title race. | 16 |
| 20 |  | Ohio State | The Buckeyes may be out of the Big Ten race, for all practical purposes, but they can still end strong. | 22 |
| 21 |  | North Carolina | Leslie McDonald had a superb week for UNC as they beat Duke and Wake. Next up is NC State on Wednesday. | NR |
| 22 |  | Memphis | Memphis survived a couple close calls last week and will need to play better if they are going to beat Louisville. | 24 |
| 23 |  | New Mexico | After beating San Diego State and a hot UNLV squad, New Mexico cracks the top 25. They only have one bad loss. | NR |
| 24 |  | Southern Methodist | SMU took Connecticut out of the AAC race. SMU can't avoid any losses and need plenty of help to have a chance. | NR |
| 25 |  | Texas | Texas has some nice wins on the year, but when they lose, they really lose. The latest was 31 points to KU. | 17 |
