NCAAB Rankings – 1/2/2012
Rankings as of 2:31pm on 1/2/2012. Sagarin ratings as of 1/1/2012. AP rankings as of 1/2/2012.
Previous rankings are here.
Pittsburgh, Oklahoma, and Miss St. fall out of the top 25 and New Mexico, North Carolina, and Purdue are in the top 25 this week. The Mountain West conference has 3 teams in my top 25. That is the same number as the ACC, Pac-12 and SEC COMBINED. I’ve even given the MWC there own color (purple). I considered giving them red since the Pac-12 wasn’t using it at all, but I think purple is a more fitting color for the MWC (think purple mountains majesty).
