NCAA Basketball Rankings - 9 Mar

The Dayton Flyers were the hottest ranked team of the week, finishing off their conference schedule undefeated with two wins of more than 25 points to finish it off, including a road win against Rhode Island, who had been in the hunt for a tournament berth, but is now in huge trouble. Penn State is headed the other way, losing 5 of their final 6 regular season games, including a huge upset against Northwestern, and they are nearly out of my top 25 after being as high as 11 just 3 weeks ago. 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:
