NCAA Basketball Rankings - 31 Jan

Losing to UCLA and letting Arizona State keep their game somewhat close this week was enough to knock Arizona out of the #1 spot again, and Gonzaga took advantage and took over the top spot for the first time this season, though they held the spot for a good chunk of last season. UCLA followed up their upset with blowouts of Cal and Stanford, making them the hottest ranked team of the week, and moving them up into the top 10. Ohio State moved into my top 25 after a solid road win against Minnesota and a close road loss at Purdue, and Murray State also moved up a couple of spots to reach the top 25 once again after slipping out a week ago. Here are my full current rankings:
