Houston was No. 1 followed by fellow Big 12 member BYU in the NCAA’s first NET rankings release on Monday.
By comparison, BYU (7-0) was ranked No. 19 in last week’s Associated Press poll while Houston (8-0) was sixth.
Per the NCAA, “The NET rankings serve as the primary sorting tool for Division I men’s basketball, they play an important role in establishing a team’s resume.”
Arizona, Creighton and Purdue round out the NET top five. Purdue was No. 1 in last week’s AP poll but a loss at unranked Northwestern bounced the Boilermakers from the top spot.
Baylor, Colorado State, Princeton, UConn and Marquette round out the NET top 10.
The NET ranks all 362 Division I teams, with Siena coming in last.
