Ohio State | How good is Ohio State? Or is the question how good is Duke? At least we’ll learn something on Wednesday. | 3 |
| 3 |  |
Florida | Kenny Boynton has led Florida to early success. An intriguing game against Marquette is up this week. | 5 |
| 4 |  |
Syracuse | Syracuse has not had a very tough game in a couple weeks, but Arkansas should provide a little bit of a test. | 6 |
| 5 |  |
Louisville | After a nice win over Missouri, Louisville could not quite knock off Duke, losing 71-76. | 1 |
| 6 |  |
Duke | Duke has now beaten Kentucky and Louisville already this season. They’ll try to add Ohio State to the list next. | 14 |
| 7 |  |
Kentucky | We should learn a lot about Kentucky this week when they face off against Notre Dame and Baylor. | 7 |
| 8 |  |
Michigan | Michigan looked very good in New York with wins over Pitt and Kansas State. Up next is NC State. | 9 |
| 9 |  |
North Carolina | Apparently losing to Butler is not a bad loss. But the big game is coming up in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. | 4 |
| 10 |  |
Kansas | Kansas got a couple decent wins in KC. They had very little trouble with Washington State and Saint Louis. | 10 |
| 11 |  |
Arizona | Arizona did not play last week, but will take their early season momentum into games against NAU and TTU. | 12 |
| 12 |  |

Michigan State | In the end the Spartans won three games last week, although a couple were way too close for comfort. | 13 |
| 14 |  |
Gonzaga | Gonzaga won the Old Spice Classic with victories over Clemson, Oklahoma and, in the final, Davidson. | 21 |
| 15 |  |

Missouri | There is nothing wrong with losing to Louisville. Mizzou came away from Atlantis with wins over VCU and Stanford. | 15 |

Notre Dame | Notre Dame is stringing together a few wins now, but that could end on Thursday night against Kentucky. | 19 |
| 19 |  |

| 20 |  |
Cincinnati | With wins against Iowa State and Oregon, Cincinnati’s undefeated record looks pretty good now. | 23 |

Oklahoma State | Oklahoma State has had a great start. A win over Portland State on Sunday increased their record to 5-0. | NR |

| 25 |  |
Memphis | Early troubles for Memphis are not a huge surprise. The schedule eases up now and the Tigers will look better. | 17 |
