2. Baylor Bears: 13-0

The Baylor Bears are on absolute fire right now, which is why I believe they will make a big jump in the rankings this week. After UCLA lost to Oregon, Baylor is the only big-time basketball program that is currently undefeated behind Villanova and no, I am not including Gonzaga in that discussion.

As conference play begins to heat up for the Bears, the testing will continue to increase every week.

On January 10th, the Bears will have one of their hardest games of the entire season, as they have to travel to West Virginia to play the #11 Mountaineers. That could be the game that finally give Baylor their first loss of the 2016-2017 season.
