College Basketball Rankings - 9 Feb

Kentucky is still the #1 team in the land thanks to a perfect record, but their margin over #2 is the smallest it has been since they took over the top spot right before Christmas. Part of that is due to the Wildcats winning their two games this week by an average of 9 points each, while Virginia won its two games against top 12 teams by an average of 7 points each. Here are this week's full rankings:

The Big Ten just can't get any love this year, with 4 teams that should be ranked or close to it not receiving a single vote in the AP poll, while Ohio State is ranked much lower than their talent deserves. Chief among the snubs is perennial favorite Michigan State, which is being ignored because they haven't beaten a ranked team yet, but neither has #25 SMU, which somehow has 81 votes. Maybe that will change if the Spartans can beat the underrated Buckeyes on Saturday.

Xavier is also being ignored by voters, with only 2 votes in this week's poll, and this comes even with a 3-1 record against ranked teams. They play in the Big East, which is still a very tough conference, which currently looks like a 6-bid league, and they are right in the middle of the 10 teams in the league, with two of their 6 conference losses coming in overtime.
