NCAA Basketball Rankings - 27 Dec

Arizona lost for the first time all season this past week, reducing the number of undefeated teams to 5, but the loss wasn't enough to move the Wildcats out of the top spot, since it was a close loss on the road against another top 10 team. LSU and Baylor remain just behind Arizona, and Houston moved up another spot to reach the top 5. Here are my full current rankings:
