We’ll start adding NET and RPI rankings once there are enough data points.
18. Georgia Tech (2-3)
Last Week: 18
Cincinnati toyed with Georgia Tech for 40 minutes in Atlanta, as the Jackets showed no signs of moving off this last-place spot. This week is Charleston Southern and Central Arkansas.
17. Virginia Tech (3-2)

Virginia Tech lost by double digits to some school called Jacksonville. 6-1 Michigan is this week – oh boy.
16. Miami (3-3)
Last Week: 7
Miami went L, L, L to Drake, Oklahoma State, and VCU which sends them plummeting. Charleston Southern in this week.
15. Syracuse (3-2)

Syracuse was actually competitive in losses to Texas and Texas Tech, but losses are losses. Cornell is up this week.
14. SMU (4-2)
Last Week: 13
SMU had chances against Mississippi State, but it was another OOC loss for the ACC. California Baptist is ahead in the upcoming week.
13. Notre Dame (4-1)
Last Week : 5
Notre Dame loses to Elon which derailed a 4-0 start to the year. Rutgers and Houston are this week. Big opportunity to make up for it, or fall further in the power rankings.

Last Week: 15
Boston College has quietly won three games in a row. Dartmouth is on Friday.
11. Florida State (6-1)

Clemson’s game against San Francisco will be a test. Florida A&M is on Friday.
8. Virginia (3-2)

7. California (5-1)
Last Week: 16
Cal gets a bump on the strength of 3-o week that included a solid win at USC. Power Conference wins earn major points in this power ranking. MercyHurst should send Cal to 6-1 this week.
6. Wake Forest (6-1)

Wake Forest has already beat Michigan. If they can get Florida, that will look real good in March.

Last Week: 8
Can Stanford move to 8-0 with Grand Canyon and Cal Poly this week?
4. NC State (5-0)

We’re not sure how good NC State is at 5-0. We’ll find out when they play Purdue.
3. Pittsburgh (6-1)
Last Week: 3
Pittsburgh picked up another strong win with a double-digit win over LSU. Wisconsin got them in a 81-75 defeat, but the Panthers are building an NCAA resume. Ohio State should be a good matchup this week.
2. UNC (3-1)
Last Week: 1
The Maui Invitational is going to tell us a lot about UNC starting with Dayton in an elite field.
1. Duke (4-1)
Last Week: 2
