Each week on Tuesdays, I will be posting my power rankings from all the power conferences including the A10, plus the top three teams in the WCC with one wild card. Also at the end of each ranking, I will add a few remarks on different team’s movements.
A10
1) Rhode Island
2) VCU
3) St. Bonaventure
4) Davidson
5) St. Louis
6) St. Joes
7) Dayton
8) La Salle
9) Richmond
10) George Mason
11) GW
12) UMass
13) Fordham
14) Duquesne
St Bonaventure sits at #3 even with an upset loss to Niagara because they played without their best player Jaylen Adams.
St Louis had a great showing in the 2k classic beating VTech, but falling to Providence in a competitive championship game. They are at #5 for a reason.
AAC
1) Wichita State
2) Cincinnati
3) Temple
4) SMU
5) Tulane
6) UConn
7) UCF
8) Houston
9) Memphis
10) Tulsa
11) ECU
12) USF
Temple wins the Charleston Classic to start the season off right, after the disappointing season they had last year. Temple is #3 in the AAC after the week they had.
Tulane was the worst team in the conference last year, but after a solid week I have them at #5 at least until they lose.
Houston and UCF had the opposite of expected first weeks dropping them in the rankings.
ACC
1) Duke
2) Miami
3) Notre Dame
4) UNC
5) Louisville
6) Virginia
7) NC State
8) Virginia Tech
9) Syracuse
10) Boston College
11) Georgia Tech
12) FSU
13) Clemson
14) Wake Forest
15) Pittsburgh
Pitt and Wake are terrible, as the rest of the conference is pretty straight forward.
Big 12
1) Kansas
2) West Virginia
3) Texas
4) Oklahoma
5) TCU
6) Baylor
7) Texas Tech
8) Oklahoma State
9) Kansas State
10) Iowa State
Iowa State starts the season off on an awful note to find themselves at the bottom.
Texas Tech dismantled Northwestern in the HOF tip off Naismith championship, but it was not enough for them to jump up to the top in my opinion.
Big East
1) Villanova
2) Xavier
3) Seton Hall
4) Creighton
5) Providence
6) Butler
7) St. Johns
8) Depaul
9) Marquette
10) Georgetown
Creighton took out two top 25 teams already, and look to beat their third in the CBE HOF Classic championship Tuesday Night over #22 Baylor. However, the top three teams are too good to be passed by Creighton right now.
Big Ten
1) Michigan State
2) Minnesota
3) Purdue
4) Maryland
5) Michigan
6) Northwestern
7) Penn State
8) Illinois
9) Ohio State
10) Wisconsin
11) Iowa
12) Rutgers
13) Indiana
14) Nebraska
MSU and Minnesota battle for the top spot as MSU comes out on top barely.
Iowa had a high ranking until they were upset by ULL on Monday.
PAC 12/WCC
1) Arizona
2) USC
3) UCLA
4) Oregon
5) Utah

11) Washington State
12) California
1) St. Marys
2) Gonzaga
3) BYU
WC San Diego
UCLA has struggled early this year with the talent they possess, but they are still #3.
ASU sky rockets after a great week to open up their season.
SEC
1) Florida
2) Kentucky
3) Texas A&M
4) Alabama
5) Arkansas
6) Ole Miss
7) Georgia
8) South Carolina
9) Missouri
10) LSU
11) Auburn
12) Mississippi St.
13) Tennessee
14) Vanderbilt
Florida and Kentucky are basically tied at the top, but the Gators surpass the Wildcats this week.
Arkansas has turned into a legitimate contender heading into the PK80 later this week.
