1. Michigan Wolverines
Record: 15-0 (4-0 Big Ten)
Last Week: No. 1
This team is special. With a superb defense and rising superstars on the offense end, Michigan has been absolutely tremendous this season en route to their undefeated 15-0 record. Their schedule might not be the strongest in the nation but the Wolverines have proven game in and game out that they are a dominant force that can take down anyone in the nation. They might not be receiving the national attention that Duke is at the moment but they have arguably been just as dominant.
Also, as I have mentioned time and time again over the past couple of months, Jordan Poole is emerging as a collegiate superstar in front of our eyes. He might not be the top scoring option for the Wolverines but his ability to efficiently fill up the scoreboard from anywhere on the court is a major luxury for head coach John Beilein. The sophomore sensation has scored in double-figures in each of his last 10 games while averaging 17.2 points on .587/.544/.826 shooting over that stretch. That is elite.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Not only is Jordan Poole an excellent college player but he is also Michigan's best NBA prospect. The sophomore posted 18 points (8-for-13 FG) and 5 rebounds tonight to help guide the Wolverines over Indiana.

To summarize, this Michigan team is extremely fun to watch. They are disciplined on both ends, are full of young talent, and their defensive rotations are incredibly quick. The Wolverines stand at 15-0 on the year and should be the favorite to win the Big Ten.
