NCAA Basketball Rankings - 17 Feb

Auburn is at #1 for the 6th week in a row after beating Alabama on the road, but the game was close enough to allow the Tide to move up a spot to #5. Arizona fell from the top 10 after losing twice this week, which allowed conference foe Texas Tech to slide into the #10 spot. Here are my full current rankings:
