| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  | Connecticut | The Huskies outscored UCF by 55 and SMU by 53. The good news is the 2/8 game against SC isn't too far off now. | 1 |
| 2 |  | South Carolina | As expected, South Carolina got a tough game from MSU, but great teams like this find a way to win on the road. | 2 |
| 3 |  | Notre Dame | Notre Dame had another great week, knocking off Tennessee, Syracuse and Virginia Tech. | 3 |
| 4 |  | Baylor | The Bears got past a trip to Ames with a 77-61 victory. Texas Tech and West Virginia are next on the chopping block. | 4 |
| 5 |  | Texas | After losing to Baylor last week, the Longhorns defended their home floor against the other Big 12 power, OU. | 5 |
| 6 |  | Maryland | Maryland beat up on Wisconsin, but due to bad weather, they will have to wait until Monday to take on MSU. | 6 |
| 7 |  | Kentucky | Kentucky fell to Ole Miss 73-65 in their lone game of the week. Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Florida are up next. | 7 |
| 8 |  | Arizona State | Whether in Tempe or Tucson, ASU got the best of their in-state rival Wildcats. A trip to Oregon will be tougher. | 8 |
| 9 |  | Oregon State | Oregon State took a trip to the Rockies and came away with wins over both Utah and Colorado. | 9 |
| 10 |  | Ohio State | The Buckeyes hit the road and snuck past Michigan and Rutgers. Their lone game this week is at home against NW. | 10 |
| 11 |  | Texas A&M | Texas A&M slipped past Mizzou in overtime. On Sunday they host USC in what may be the best SEC game of the year. | 12 |
| 12 |  | Florida State | The Seminoles got a huge road win at Miami and have now won six ACC games in a row. #7 should come vs. Wake. | 14 |
| 13 |  | Oklahoma | Oklahoma lost another conference game, but they showed promise by giving Texas a battle on the road. | 13 |
| 14 |  | Mississippi State | It was a disappointing week for MSU. They lost at Georgia and at home to South Carolina in two very close games. | 11 |
| 15 |  | Michigan State | Michigan State's big game at Maryland was postponed and will be played Monday evening. | 19 |
| 16 |  | UCLA | Usually there is reason to be concerned when Cal and Stanford come to town, but UCLA handled both easily. | 25 |
| 17 |  | Miami | Miami was cruising along nicely until a home loss to FSU set them back. They'll look to rebound at VT on Thursday. | 15 |
| 18 |  | Stanford | Stanford is struggling offensively right now. They were at least able to win at USC and split their SoCal series. | 16 |
| 19 |  | Duke | With wins over Clemson and rival North Carolina, Duke is at least beating the teams they should beat. | 20 |
| 20 |  | Tennessee | The Lady Vols lost to Notre Dame, but it was a decent showing. Trips to Kentucky and Mississippi State will be tough. | 17 |
| 21 |  | Missouri | Missouri lost to Texas A&M in OT on the road and then beat Florida. This team is a very dangerous team. | 22 |
| 22 |  | DePaul | DePaul cruised past Creighton and Providence and now have tied a season long win streak with four. | 23 |
| 23 |  | Syracuse | Syracuse fell at Notre Dame and this team needs a big win. They'll get their shot against Louisville on Monday. | 18 |
| 24 |  | Washington | Washington overcame a rough third quarter to beat rival WSU 69-63 on Saturday. A trip to the Bay Area is up next. | 24 |
| 25 |  | South Florida | South Florida was upset at Memphis, but the losses will be few and far between until they play UConn again. | 21 |
