| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  | Baylor | Baylor blew out Oklahoma and Texas A&M. They'll probably do the same to Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. | 1 |
| 2 |  | Connecticut | The Huskies keep cruising along and have beaten four ranked teams in a row. This week the schedule is easier. | 3 |
| 3 |  | Stanford | The Cardinal pulled away from UCLA and USC last week. This week...the always tough trip to the state of Oregon. | 4 |
| 4 |  | Notre Dame | Notre Dame was shocked by West Virginia in South Bend on Sunday. Providence will feel their anger. | 2 |
| 5 |  | Miami | Miami went to Maryland a came away with a great victory. Earlier in the week they beat UNC. Canes are on a roll. | 5 |
| 6 |  | Kentucky | Kentucky will get a great opportunity to overcome their disappointing loss at LSU by taking advantage of UT. | 6 |
| 7 |  | Duke | Duke survived a couple road tests last week, but now they have to head to Maryland on Sunday afternoon. | 7 |
| 8 |  | Delaware | If Delaware is going to lose a conference game, it could be on Thursday night when they head to Hofstra. | 12 |
| 9 |  | Ohio State | Ohio State nearly lost two games in a row, but managed to hold off Purdue. The Big Ten is wide open now. | 9 |
| 10 |  | Penn State | The Lady Lions had little trouble with Nebraska and Northwestern last week. A trip to Purdue will be more difficult. | 14 |
| 11 |  | Tennessee | Tennessee lost at Vanderbilt in their only game of the week and it won't get any easier with Kentucky up next. | 8 |
| 12 |  | Georgetown | The Hoyas did not look like a top 15 team when they went to Storrs. The offense and defense were just awful. | 10 |
| 13 |  | Green Bay | Green Bay finally lost a game after winning 21 in a row. Detroit was the culprit and those two teams may meet again. | 11 |
| 14 |  | Texas A&M | Texas A&M could not hang with Baylor in Waco. They'll get at least one more shot at the nation's top team. | 15 |
| 15 |  | Purdue | Purdue went to Ohio State and hung with the Buckeyes for most of the game. A huge game against PSU is next. | 16 |
| 16 |  | Nebraska | Nebraska had a letdown against Michigan at home last week. The Cornhuskers should be able to win the next few. | 13 |
| 17 |  | Georgia | The Bulldogs got a nice win over a surging Vanderbilt team on Sunday, but face a tough road stretch this week. | 21 |
| 18 |  | Maryland | Maryland lost a close game to Miami on Sunday. This Sunday another great team in Duke heads to College Park. | 18 |

| 20 |  | Vanderbilt | Vanderbilt added themselves to the list of teams that knocked off Tennessee, but followed it up with a loss to UGA. | 22 |

| 23 |  | St. Bonaventure | St. Bonaventure survived a tough road trip to Dayton and are now poised to finish the A-10 campaign unbeaten. | NR |
| 24 |  | DePaul | The Blue Demons got a couple decent wins last week, but next up is a very hot West Virginia squad. | NR |
| 25 |  | Georgia Tech | Georgia Tech hung around with a more talented Maryland squad and got a huge win against North Carolina. | 24 |
