NCAA Basketball Rankings - 1 Jan

Houston has now increased their lead over the rest of the country, running their record to 13-0 heading into conference play, where we'll find out how good the Cougars actually are. Alabama moved into the top 10 at #6, even with five losses already, while there are 3 new teams in the top 25, including Utah, who won their first two Pac 12 games over the weekend.
