NCAA Basketball Rankings - 12 Jan

Michigan lost to Wisconsin at home this weekend, the first loss of the season for the Wolverines, but Michigan still held on to the #1 spot in my rankings for at least one more week. Duke moved into the top 10 after beating two ranked teams, Louisville and SMU, to improve to 15-1 on the season. Utah State moved back into the top 25, jumping clear up to #15 after destroying Air Force and Boise State, both on the road. Here are my full current rankings:
