NCAA Basketball Rankings - 18 Jan

With Michigan's first loss of the season this week, the #3 spot was open for another team to move in, and Iowa, led by dominant senior center Luka Garza, stepped into that void after dispatching Northwestern on the road 96-73. Alabama moved into the top 10 this week after two huge blowout wins, including a 20-point road win against Kentucky, and Virginia finally jumped into the top 25 after destroying #12 Clemson on the road 85-50. Here are my full current rankings:
