Each week, a handful of us college hoops bloggers put together our own version of a Top 25 poll to make ourselves feel just a little more important (our tiny voices matter, too!).

Here is what we have assessed, as a group, with any of the AP rankings that significantly differ from any of ours for each team set in parentheses and first place votes at the top in bold.

Obviously, if there are no numbers in parentheses, then our rankings match the AP voters’ or are within three voting points. And for the sake of putting the poll out mid-week, most voting is done as soon as Monday night’s games are finished.

We hardly agree with the AP when it comes to exact numbers in the poll, but almost all of our placements are within two or three standing points of each other.

  1. Memphis–13–
  2. Duke–2–
  3. Tennessee
  4. Kansas
  5. North Carolina
  6. UCLA
  7. Stanford
  8. Texas
  9. Georgetown
  10. Xavier
  11. Drake
  12. Michigan State
  13. Butler (9)
  14. Wisconsin
  15. Connecticut
  16. Indiana
  17. Kansas State
  18. Washington State
  19. Texas A&M
  20. Louisville
  21. Notre Dame
  22. Purdue
  23. Saint Mary’s
  24. Vanderbilt
  25. Marquette (NR)

The three who just missed the cut: Pittsburgh, Arizona, Arkansas.
