NCAA Basketball Rankings - 29 Jan

We are getting into the meat of the college basketball season, with good games almost every day. This weekend's big game was Virginia-Duke, which ended up just as close as the rankings showed it should have been. The hottest team of the week was SEC leader Auburn, which destroyed the other two Tigers in the conference, Missouri and LSU, during the week, with both of those teams sitting right on the tournament bubble. Here are this week's full rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, at-large teams underlined, and teams whose in/out status changed in italics:
