Mr. T's Top 25 Power Rankings (2/15)

I only truly understand how difficult it is to put together a Top 25 now that I'm actually putting one together every week. I still see a clear top three, with eight other really competitive, yet flawed teams. After that it's a complete crap shoot. The bottom of the rankings continue to fluctuate as different teams play themselves in and out. I dropped Maryland from the rankings because that game at Duke was just too embarrassing.

(Last week's rankings on my ballot in parenthesis)

1. Kansas (1)
2. Kentucky (3)
3. Syracuse (2)
4. Villanova (4)
5. Purdue (9)
