NCAA Basketball Rankings - 19 Feb

This is the final week of the regular season for many conferences, so the tournament is right around the corner, and the team that played the best this week was Penn State, who faced two top 10 opponents, beating Ohio State by 23, then falling just short against Purdue on the road yesterday. The strong showing allowed the Nittany Lions to vault into the top 25, though they still have work to do to get into the tournament. 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:
