NCAA Basketball Rankings - 2 Feb

The defending champion Florida Gators had a very good week, pummeling SEC doormat South Carolina by 47, then beating a ranked Alabama team by 23 points yesterday, which moved the Gators up to #5 in my latest rankings. Gonzaga slipped out of the top 10 after a second straight close conference home win, and undefeated Miami (OH) slipped 3 notches to #62, even though they were able to avoid any losses. Here are my full current rankings:
