Each week on Tuesdays, I will be posting my power rankings from all the power conferences including the A10 and AAC. Also at the end of each ranking, I will add a few remarks on different team’s movements.
A10
1 Rhode Island
2 VCU

5 St Louis
6 La Salle
7 Davidson
8 St Joes
9 Umass
10 George Mason
11 Fordham
12 Richmond
13 Duquesne
14 GW
LA Salle makes a big jump with a great victory over Temple.
Dayton is #4, but do not get me wrong they have had a depressing start to the year.
AAC
1 Wichita State
2 Cincy
3 SMU
4 Houston
5 Temple
6 Tulane
7 Uconn
8 Tulsa
9 UCF

Temple and Tulane both lose for the first time after great starts to their potential bounce back seasons.

5 UNC
6 Virginia
7 NC State
8 Syracuse
9 VTech
10 FSU

Syracuse is coming alive as a contender after they got snubbed for a NCAA Tourney bid last year.
Big 12
1 Kansas
2 West Virginia
3 Baylor
4 Texas
5 TCU
6 Texas Tech
7 Oklahoma
8 Oklahoma State
9 Iowa State
10 Kansas State
Texas is ranked higher then ranked teams TCU and Texas Tech because of their play in the PK80.
I have Kansas State last because they have been the most boring team so far this year.
Big East
1 Nova
2 Creighton
3 Xavier
4 Seton Hall
5 Providence
6 St Johns
7 Butler
8 Depaul
9 Marquette
10 Gtown
Creighton jumps Xavier because of their incredible wins on the year so far.
BIG Ten
1 Michigan State
2 Minnesota
3 Michigan
4 Maryland
5 Penn State
6 Illinois
7 Purdue
8 Northwestern
9 Ohio State
10 Iowa
11 Rutgers
12 Wisconsin
13 Indiana
14 Nebraska
I had a tough time ranking the teams between 3 and 8 because they all have very weird resumes so far.
The BIG Ten/ACC challenge will give us more clarity on the BIG Ten conference.
PAC 12
1 USC
2 ASU
3 UCLA
4 Arizona
5 Oregon
6 Wash State
7 Utah
8 Washington
9 Colorado
10 Oregon State
11 Stanford
12 Cal
ASU is the hottest team in college hoops right now. Tra Holder, learn the name.
Arizona lost 3 straight in Atlantis out of no-where to drop.
Stanford was projected to be one of the most improved teams in the nation, but they are struggling.
SEC
1 Florida
2 Kentucky
3 Texas A/M
4 Alabama
5 Arkansas
6 Ole Miss
7 Tennessee
8 South Carolina
9 LSU
10 Missouri
11 Georgia
12 Mississippi State
13 Auburn
14 Vandy
Florida beats out Kentucky barely at the top because they have a better loss.
Tennessee opened eyes in Atlantis to rise in the SEC.
Mississippi State is undefeated, but ranked 12th until they beat a team that is relevant.
