NCAA Basketball Rankings - 17 Dec

The top few teams remained the same this week, but there was some good movement lower down in the rankings. The hottest team of the week was Belmont, who went to LA and beat the other Bruins in a big upset, which moved them up 20 spots to #37 on this week's list. The team that dropped the farthest was Ohio State, who fell 8 spots despite winning, because they narrowly escaped against Bucknell in a home game that they should have won easily. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, at-large teams underlined, and teams whose in/out status changed in italics:
