2. Kentucky (5-1): John Calipari's team has won five straight after losing to Duke, who's the new No. 1 team in the country.

4. Auburn (5-1): The Tigers lost a double-overtime thriller to UConn but bounced back with victories over Loyola Chicago and Syracuse.
5. LSU (7-0): With an unbeaten record and three straight wins over top 100 KenPom teams, Darius Days and company are an early surprise this season.
