College Basketball Rankings - 10 Mar

The regular season is over, except for Penn-Princeton tomorrow, but most conferences are holding their tournaments this week, so there are still plenty of exciting games coming up, and the top spot changed hands again this week after the Wildcats tripped up against Oregon to close the regular season, but they are still not that far behind Louisville for #1. Here are this week's full rankings, with conference leaders in bold, at-large teams underlined, and teams that climbed into or out of the tourney field in italics.

Villanova is up to #4, their highest ranking since early December, and when you look at their schedule, it's easy to see why. They have beaten both Kansas and Iowa, who are in my top 10, and all three of their losses have come against Syracuse or Creighton, both top 25 teams. They swept several possible tournament teams in conference play, including Marquette, Georgetown, St. John's, Xavier, and Providence, so as long as they don't have to see the Bluejays again, they could be this year's champs.

Wisconsin fell out of the top 10 this week after their 8-game losing streak ended at Nebraska, but the Badgers are still a marquee team that has played well all year except for one bad stretch at the end of January where they lost 5 of 6. They currently are #4 in their conference by my rankings, but the top 4 are all pretty equal, and all 4 could make a deep March run.

Georgetown had a tough schedule this week, facing both Creighton and Villanova, who are in my top 6, but they came out of it looking pretty good, with a big win over the Bluejays before an equally big loss to the Wildcats. If anything, the Hoyas proved this week that they can play with the best teams, and they deserve a spot in the tourney, even if it's just a play-in game.
