College Basketball Rankings - 1 Jan

For the first time in over 60 years, we are entering January without a single undefeated college basketball team, which could be a sign that this season will be wide-open. The biggest move this week among ranked teams was by Texas Tech, which hosted Baylor on Friday and beat them by 24 in the upset, which vaulted the Red Raiders into my top 10 and dropped the Bears to the tournament bubble. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, at-large teams underlined, and teams whose in/out status changed in italics:
