College Basketball Rankings - 23 Jan

This was a good week for Wildcats. Kentucky took over the top spot with West Virginia's struggles this week, most notably their home loss to Oklahoma, one of the worst teams in the Big 12. Meanwhile, Arizona had a huge road victory over UCLA, who had been the top team in the Pac 12 entering the game. 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:
