NCAA Basketball Rankings - 6 Jan

There are still two undefeated teams in the country as we approach the midway point next week, but both are moving into the tougher portion of their schedule, so don't be surprised to see a loss for either of them in the next couple of weeks. Duke moved back into the top spot after blowing out Miami and Boston College, which was enough to push them ahead of Kansas, who was still impressive in its win over West Virginia this week, who remained at #4. Dayton also moved into the top 5 with another strong week, making them the highest-ranked team not from a power conference. 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:
