We've talked about carnage at the top of the men's college basketball rankings before. But we've never seen a week like the one we just finished.
Four of the top five teams in the Power Rankings (and in the AP poll) lost to unranked opponents. By the time Sunday ended, eight top-10 teams had lost to unranked opponents, and top-10 teams finished 9-10 on the week — with nine of the losses coming to unranked opponents.
Top-10 teams finished 3-9 in road games. When the dust finally settled, how did the top of the pecking order shake out? To start, we moved UConn from No.
4 to No. 1. The Huskies have been in the top tier for much of the season, and winning at Xavier on Wednesday when seemingly every other high-ranked team couldn't figure out how to win on the road was a big plus.
