1. Obi Toppin, Dayton Flyers
2. Myles Powell, Seton Hall Pirates
3. Vernon Carey, Duke Blue Devils
4. Daniel Oturu, Minnesota Golden Gophers
The most underrated stat for post players might be minutes, and that's where Oturu really shines. It's all well and good that his numbers look impressive across the board, for example, but it's the fact that he can inflict that level of performance on opponents so relentlessly that makes him so valuable to Minnesota. Oturu has been on the floor for 88% of the Gophers' minutes to this point in conference play, and he's coming off a 30-point performance (on 12-of-16 shooting) against Michigan. The sophomore is possibly the most complete player in this season's unusually strong and deep Big Ten, and that's saying something.

Ranking the top 25 players in college basketball: Does anyone want to be No. 1?
We're now firmly into conference play, so who has risen to the top of our list -- and who has fallen out?
