NCAA Basketball Rankings - 25 Jan

The Alabama Crimson Tide continued their meteoric rise this week, jumping up to #6 in my rankings after destroying a pretty good LSU team on the road by 30 points. The Tide have not lost in over a month, and they are off to an 8-0 start in conference play, 3 games ahead of anyone else in the SEC. Illinois and Texas joined the top 10, and Colgate, Florida State, and Florida each jumped into the top 25. Here are my full current rankings:
