NCAA Basketball Rankings - 22 Dec

Michigan is still the top team in the country this week, but not by as wide a margin as before, as both Arizona and Vanderbilt have closed the gap with the Wolverines, and all 3 are currently undefeated. Michigan State joined their in-state rivals in the top 10 this week after 2 more wins raised their record to 11-1, and Utah State joined the top 25 after destroying Colorado State to open conference play in the Mountain West. Here are my full current rankings:
