NCAA Basketball Rankings - 9 Dec

Ohio State stayed in the top spot of my basketball rankings this week as well, proving they deserved that spot by blowing out Penn State, who is still ranked at #11. Butler, Oregon, and Duke moved into the top 10, while Virginia, Oklahoma State, and Arkansas all fell after unexpected losses. 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:
