1.) Seton Hall - They played a phenomenal game against the best the Big Ten has. A few mistakes and a bad call in the final minutes and they would have had them. They are playing well.
2.) Xaiver - Xavier just always seems to perform. They looked solid.
3.) Villanova - It's just one game but they looked pretty out of it. No doubt if anyone can get a team on track it's Jay Wright.
4.) Marquette - They were as calm as could be against Purdue. They did not panic at 18 points down, but trusted the plan. They could easily be third on this list.
5.) DePaul - I know they were picked 10th. But they did not play like a team picked 10th. They passed the eye test this week and if they continue to improve the Big East may finally grab a hold in the Windy City.
6.) Butler - Another team that played cool and collected. They followed the game plan and grabbed an important win at Hinkle.
7.) St. John's - The Johnnies have not been tested yet. They will play a good Vermont team this weekend and then Arizona State and possibly Virginia over the course of the next two weekends. So this could change. But they have clearly bought in to the new system and look like they may wind up higher than 9th.
8.) Creighton - They gave Michigan a good game on the road. Tough place to win.
9.) Providence - They have some talent on that roster but they did not play smart. Was hard to figure out what they were trying to do at times. Providence should beat Northwestern every time out - and they should have won this week.
10.) Georgetown - They got themselves in a hole they couldn't get out of this time. No offensive scheme, they looked panicked at times and should have beaten Penn State at home.
Thoughts?

And the last three won’t finish below 7th either.
