NCAA Basketball Rankings - 1 Mar

There is a new #2 team this week, a spot Baylor has held all season long in my rankings, and while the Bears lost this week, that wasn't the reason for the move. Michigan's blowout win over Iowa early in the week moved them ahead of Baylor even before the Bears became the latest team to record their first loss, and the Wolverines may even be able to make a push to unseat Gonzaga at the top before the tournament starts. With Baylor's loss, the Bulldogs are the only undefeated team left, and because Idaho and South Carolina State won for the first time this week, Chicago State is the only winless team left, and they cancelled the remainder of their season before Christmas, so that will not be changing. Here are my full current rankings:
