15. Virginia Cavaliers

Previously Ranked: 7

Record: 7-1

The Cavaliers edge out the WVU squad that defeated them thanks to a superior strength of schedule. Virginia had also beaten opponents by an average of 27 points prior to their loss. Their final test before ACC play comes right before Christmas at California.

London Perrantes still does everything for UVA. He is putting up 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game in under 30 minutes an evening. Isaiah Wilkins, Jarred Reuter and Jack Salt are doing their part up front, but this team is clearly lacking some inside punch without dismissed forward Austin Nichols. Only time will tell if the lack of a more dominant inside option keeps this team from reaching their potential.
