| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  | Kentucky | Kentucky warmed up for their big game against Michigan State with easy wins over UNC Asheville and NKU. | 1 |
| 2 |  | Louisville | Louisville did not dominate Charleston like many expected, but there is a long, long way to go. | 2 |
| 3 |  | Michigan State | Six players scored in double figures against McNeese State, but the big test is against Kentucky on Tuesday. | 3 |
| 4 |  | Arizona | Arizona did not exactly look like a top five team against Cal Poly, but it will come together soon enough. | 4 |
| 5 |  | Florida | The Gators lack of bodies was a problem against North Florida. It could be why they lose this week vs Wisconsin. | 5 |
| 6 |  | Duke | Jabari Parker scored 22 points in his Duke debut. We'll see how he does on Tuesday against Kansas. | 6 |
| 7 |  | North Carolina | The Tar Heels beat Oakland 84-61 and face Holy Cross and Belmont this week. Belmont is pretty good. | 7 |

| 9 |  | Connecticut | Thanks to a nice performance by Shabazz Napier, Connecticut kicked off the 2013-2014 campaign with a nice win. | 9 |
| 10 |  | Syracuse | Syracuse got off to a slow start against Cornell, but still won by 22. They have time to sort everything out. | 10 |
| 11 |  | Marquette | Marquette failed to pull away against Southern and won just 63-56. They need to play better against Ohio State. | 11 |
| 12 |  | Ohio State | We will learn much more about the Buckeyes this week when they face Ohio and Marquette. | 12 |
| 13 |  | VCU | VCU's havoc goes up against Virginia's patience in a very intriguing early season contest. | 13 |
| 14 |  | Michigan | The Wolverines defense was way too much for Umass-Lowell. It should be too much for SCSU and Iowa State too. | 14 |
| 15 |  | Wichita State | Wichita State will play a tougher team than Emporia State this week when they host Western Kentucky. | 15 |
| 16 |  | New Mexico | The Lobos took care of business against Alabama A&M. They will do the same against Charleston Southern. | 16 |

| 21 |  | Saint Louis | The Billikens got off to a nice start against Southeast Missouri State. This week they tour Southern Illinois. | 21 |
| 22 |  | Baylor | In an underappreciated opening weekend game, the Bears knocked off a very good Colorado team. | 24 |

| 24 |  | Virginia | Virginia has a tough week ahead of them with games against VCU and Davidson. | NR |
| 25 |  | Colorado | Colorado may have lost their opener to Baylor, but it's way too early to give up on the Buffaloes. | 19 |
