College Basketball Rankings - 2 Jan

West Virginia stays at the top for another week after Duke, Virginia, and Villanova all had rough starts to their respective conference seasons, but all 3 remaining undefeated teams are among the top 7, waiting in the wings for the Mountaineers to slip up. The hottest teams of the week were undefeated Baylor, which destroyed Oklahoma on the road to open their conference schedule, and Arizona, which beat Cal and Stanford on the road, the second one by 39 points. 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, take difference between two teams' ratings and adjust by 5.32 for home court advantage.
