NCAA Basketball Rankings - 26 Feb

The top 8 teams remain the same this week, with several conferences entering tournaments this week and the rest finishing off the regular season.

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:
