NCAA Basketball Rankings - 24 Jan

Auburn became the #1 team in my rankings last week, then went on to beat Georgia and Kentucky this week, but they actually dropped 2 spots because both wins were at home and were closer than expected, while Arizona went on the road and demolished both Stanford and Cal, which helped move the Wildcats back to the #1 spot they vacated 3 weeks ago. Wake Forest jumped into the top 25 after beating up on North Carolina in a game that should have been extremely close, moving up 25 spots to get there. Here are my full current rankings:
