NCAA Basketball Rankings - 8 Feb

The Pac 12 has been down in basketball for a few years, and the result is that they don't get many votes in the national polls anymore, but this year there are a couple of deserving schools out West not named Gonzaga, and one of them is USC, who moved up to #8 this week after beating up on UCLA, who had previously been leading the conference standings. The newest team in the top 25 is BYU, who beat Portland on the road by 45 earlier in the week before losing a couple of games to cancellation. They get a big opportunity tonight when they host #1 Gonzaga, and it's easily the toughest game left on the Bulldogs' schedule this year. Here are my full current rankings:
