College Basketball Rankings - 26 Dec

West Virginia did enough to stay at the top for another week, the fourth in a row they have held that spot in my rankings, but Villanova and Kentucky are both closing the gap on the Mountaineers, and schedules are about to get tougher with most conferences starting league play this week. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, at-large teams underlined, and teams whose in/out status changed this week in italics. To determine projected margin of victory for a game this week, take the difference between the two teams' ratings and adjust by 5.32 for home court advantage.
