NCAA Basketball Rankings - 15 Jan

The final undefeated team in the country lost not just once, but twice this week, but still managed to move up a spot in the rankings, since the team ahead of them (Purdue) had a much worse loss then either suffered by Houston. North Carolina jumped into the top 5 after beating up on NC State and Syracuse, giving them a 5-0 start in the ACC. Michigan State joined the top 25 after nearly upsetting Illinois on the road, even though their record is only 10-7, but 4 of their losses have come to teams in the top 13. Here are my full current rankings:
