NCAA Basketball Rankings - 24 Dec

The top 3 teams are all the same this week, but the newest team in the top 5 was the hottest of the week. Virginia moved up from #14 after beating South Carolina by 17 on the road, then beating down William & Mary a few nights later by 32. Four of the top 6 teams are from the ACC, including the coldest team of the week, which is #6 North Carolina, who lost to lower-ranked Kentucky over the weekend. 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:
