NCAA Basketball Rankings - 11 Dec

College basketball has been going on for just over a month now, and already there are only 7 remaining undefeated teams. 6 of those teams are among the top 32 teams in my rankings this week, with Ole Miss considerable lower due to a very weak early schedule. A few teams have gotten off to a very hot start compared with how they finished last season, notably BYU, Princeton, and Colorado State, but all 3 of those teams suffered their first losses in the past few days. Here are my full current rankings, with last season's final ranking under the LW column:
