3. Creighton Bluejays (4-0)

Creighton gets jumped by Marquette simply because they don't have as impressive of a win as the Golden Eagles.

The Bluejays have a star inside with Ryan Kalkbrenner and its schedule gets much more difficult over the next two weeks with a matchup against rival Nebraska before traveling to Las Vegas for the Players Invitational Tournament.

We will finally get a chance to see how good this Creighton team can be.

4. St. John's Red Storm (4-0)

St. John's passed its first test of the season with its victory over New Mexico but the Johnnies graduate to another weight class this week at the Baha Mar Hoops Championship.

No. 13 Baylor awaits on Thursday and then a matchup against either No. 11 Tennessee or Virginia will be on Friday night. The Red Storm will also play Georgia in a standalone game during its time in the Bahamas.

Rick Pitino sees how good this team can be but now they must prove it.
