 T1. Baylor BearsOverall Record: 7-0Last Week's Record: 0-0 Last Week's Ranking/Movement: T1, same What Nathan Says: The hot name in the conference sits right behind them, but the Bears haven't given me any reason to bump them down. |
 T1. Missouri TigersOverall Record: 9-0Last Week's Record: 2-0 Last Week's Ranking/Movement: T1, same What Evan Says: Solid win against a bigger 'Nova squad last week. Two more tune-ups before the Busch Braggin' Rights game against Illinois.. |
 3. Kansas JayhawksOverall Record: 7-2Last Week's Record: 2-0 Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 3, same What Nathan Says: No shame in beating Ohio State without Jared Sullinger. Tyshawn Taylor's out for three weeks but KU has an easy slate of games until Big 12 play begins. |
 4. Texas A&M AggiesOverall Record: 8-1Last Week's Record: 2-0 Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 4, same What E. Carnes Says: Although they fared alright without Khris Middleton, the Aggies have to be happy to have their leading scorer back on the court. |

 6. Kansas St. WildcatsOverall Record: 6-1Last Week's Record: 1-1 Last Week's Ranking/Movement: T5, down one What Joe Says: Wildcats had to go to overtime against North Florida which means K-State fans have to be happy there is still a football game left to look forward too. . |
