Another top-10 upset shakes up the CBS Sports Top 25 and 1 ahead of weekend hoops slate
The Purdue Boilermakers are experiencing the life of a normal Big Ten team. On Tuesday, they pulled off a massive home win against Illinois, boosting their chances at getting a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Just two days later, they were blown out by Michigan on the road, dropping out of the tie for first place in the conference.
Because of the upset, the CBS Sports Top 25 and 1 has received another shake-up. With the loss, Purdue slid down five spots, just sneaking into the top 10. A few teams moved up one spot as well, filling the gap the Boilermakers left.
Five teams from the non-Power Six conference feature in the rankings, with Gonzaga holding the top overall spot. Fellow WCC members St. Mary’s is toward the bottom, while the Mountain West is represented by Wyoming.
