College Basketball Rankings - 29 Feb

Some teams have finished the regular season, with conference tournaments starting as early as tomorrow, while some leagues will continue to play through the rest of this week before playing their tournaments next week. The hottest team this week was Utah, which re-entered the top 25 after hosting the Arizona schools and beating them both. The Utes opened their game against the Sun Devils on a 30-2 run, allowing only 10 points in the entire first half, before coasting to victory. The extra rest helped them out a couple nights later when they hosted the Wildcats, who were #9 in the AP poll, but couldn't catch Utah down the stretch and lost by 6. Here are this week's full rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, at-large teams underlined, and teams whose in/out status changed this week in italics:
