We know who the top two teams will be in the new USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll Top 25 – Auburn and Duke – and after a good week and a five-game winning streak, Alabama will almost surely be third.
What about the four?
Last week, Iowa State was ranked third, but it will drop after losing two straight.
Houston? Maybe, but they recently lost to Texas Tech. Florida had ups and downs, Michigan State fell to USC, and Tennessee lost to Kentucky before blowing it out against Florida.
Here is our best bet for who will finish fourth and what the Week 14 College Basketball Coaches Poll will be.
