Kansas is another team ranked inside the top ten of last week’s Coaches Poll that went 1-1 during Week 9. The Jayhawks beat Oklahoma State before falling to Texas Tech. Kansas has an intriguing matchup against Iowa State, who beat Texas Tech last week, on Tuesday. Iowa State also faces Texas later in the week.

Colorado State (previously No. 19) dropped out of the poll following Week 9, as Illinois rejoins the rankings at 24. Miami (75 points), Colorado State (64), Oklahoma (39), and Loyola-Chicago (34) finish just outside the top 25.
