IMO,

1. UK
2. Syracuse
3. Villanova
4. Texas
5. Kansas

I know that Texas has 2 losses, but as far as better, I truly beleive they are better than Kansas.

without a doubt they just had a bad week.

[PC_You_Know]

So, how many of you think UK wouldn't be ranked in the top 5 if they had a loss on their schedule? I think the media is horrible. UK couldn't get but ONE 1st place vote when Texas was #1, yet Texas was able to get beaten by UCONN. I would say UK would only get about 5 votes if they had a loss.

[NYY10]

Michigan ST is not a top 5 team

[johnnyt]

well i see roy voted for himself in the coaches poll.

I agree with this. IDK if I'd even put KU in the top 5 though. They've done nothing to impress me thus far. And the Beast East, in a down year, still has two teams in the top 5 and three in the top 10!
