NCAA Basketball Rankings - 5 Mar

The obvious team of the week over the past week was Michigan, who won 4 games in a row to take the Big 10 tournament title, including the last 2 against Michigan State and Purdue, both of which are top 10 teams who are in the running for #1 seeds in the tournament. The Wolverines now sit just outside my top 10, and gives the Big 10 3 legitimate title contenders in March Madness. 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:
