The first week of in-season College Basketball Power Rankings is always something of a crapshoot. Preseason priors are still heavily weighted, literally everything is a small sample size and the lack of a consistent competition level across the board makes early comparisons difficult.
Furthermore, one statement win can skyrocket a team up the order.
We saw three of those through the first 10 days of the 2024-25 season: Gonzaga's blowout of Baylor on opening night, Auburn beating Houston in Houston and Kentucky coming back to top Duke at Tuesday night's Champions Classic.
