NCAA Basketball Rankings - 15 Dec

Michigan is still well ahead of the field early in the season, a full 5 points better than any other team on a neutral court. Arizona moved up 3 spots to reach #3 this week, and the Wildcats are one of just 7 remaining undefeated teams out of 365. Kansas jumped into the top 10, giving the Big 12 four teams near the top, while no other conference has more than two. Here are my full current rankings:
