NCAA Basketball Rankings - 7 Jan

Duke and their dominant group of freshmen are still the top team in the nation, holding down the top spot since the beginning of December. Nevada finally saw their first loss, and it was an embarrassing blowout loss at New Mexico, which dropped the Wolf Pack 7 spots to #16 this week. Texas moved up 17 spots to land just outside the top 25 after a 2-0 start to conference play, knocking off Kansas State at West Virginia in their first week of the new year. 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:
