Wisconsin is the next-best undefeated team so far, and this week their tough schedule jumped them back into the top 10 at a season-high #6. The Badgers beat Iowa and Illinois this week, both of which were ranked in the top 25, and Iowa proved that they are still underrated by beating Ohio State on the road last night, which only helps Wisconsin's case.

Creighton is also new to the top 10 this week, grabbing the #10 slot after beating Xavier for their ninth win in a row, a streak which extends over 6 weeks. Both of the Bluejays' losses came over Thanksgiving weekend in Southern California where they were competing in the Wooden Legacy tournament, and both were to teams that should be playing games that matter in March, so don't overlook this team despite their lack of ranked opponents.

Virginia leaped 24 spots this week to get to #22 after two huge wins against North Carolina teams, the Demon Deacons and Wolfpack, and if they win again tonight against the Blue Devils, they could reach the top 10 by next week. The Cavaliers have had a few hiccups already, but losses to Wisconsin and VCU are among their 4 defeats, so they really shouldn't worry too much about it.
