College Basketball Rankings - 9 Jan

The hottest team among probable tournament teams this week was the Oregon Ducks, who took a trip to Washington and came back with two commanding wins, even though the Huskies looked like a potential upset-puller. The coldest team was Virginia Tech, who came in to the week at 12-1 and among the AP top 25, then went out and suffered consecutive blowouts, including one at NC State, who lost their next game by 51. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, at-large teams underlined, and those whose in/out status changed in italics.
