NCAA Basketball Rankings - 6 Jan

The SEC has been the story so far this season in college basketball, and deservedly so, with the only undefeated team in the nation (Tennessee), and 8 teams currently among my top 25, but the top team in the nation right now is Duke, from the ACC. The Blue Devils have lost twice so far, both close games at neutral sites to Kentucky and Kansas, both of which are sitting just outside my top 10. Here are my full current rankings:
