7. Baylor Bears

Previous Ranking: 21

Record: 7-0

No team has more quality wins than Baylor right now. Not Duke, not North Carolina, not Kentucky. The Bears have four wins over teams in KenPom’s top 40 and are undefeated with the 23rd ranked schedule.

Johnathan Motley is making a case for NBA lottery consideration. The junior forward has been excellent so far, recording 16.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.

Manu Lecomte looks settled after transferring from Miami and sitting out all of last year. He is scoring 13.9 points, is dishing out 5.3 assists a night and is hitting 39 percent of his three point attempts. Even Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. has also looked comfortable in Waco. Early signs point to Baylor challenging West Virginia for 2nd in the Big 12.
