CBS released updated top 25 and 1 following upset-filled Wednesday
The top 14 teams were untouched in the latest CBS Top 25 and 1, but the rest of the rankings were shuffled, and a few teams even dropped out of the rankings following Wednesday’s slate.
Auburn remains No. 4 after escaping yet another poor road performance, this time against Mississippi State and Arkansas stays put after edging out LSU at home 77-76 as the SEC decided to give fans a taste of March earlier than expected. The tops teams, however, remain on top.
Biggest winner: Boise State and Iowa jumped up two spots apiece thanks to a couple of teams falling out of the rankings, and Illinois, UCLA, Houston and Saint Mary’s all moved up one spot following UConn’s loss. Colorado State and Seton Hall joined the rankings for the first time this week as well.
