NCAA Basketball Rankings - 17 Jan

After the defending champs from Baylor finally climbed up to #1 last week for the first time this season, they immediately lost 2 straight games at home, which knocked them all the way down to #8, and gave another team a chance at sitting on top. USC, who was the only other undefeated team going into the week, also lost twice, knocking them almost out of the top 25, while Kentucky made a move upward into the top 10. Here are my full current rankings:
