NCAA Basketball Rankings - 30 Dec

The year is nearly over, and most conferences are getting ready to begin their conference schedules this week, which is when the season really gets fun. Kansas' road win at Stanford helped boost them above Duke to take the #1 spot, while the remaining undefeated teams, San Diego State and Auburn, are sitting right on the edge of the top 10. 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:
