There are certainly no shortages of upsets this season across college basketball. This past week was undoubtedly upset-filled, with ten AP-ranked teams losing one game and four ranked teams losing two games. As a result, the new Coaches Poll Top 25 has seen plenty of changes.

No. 6 Tennessee was the highest-ranked team to lose twice on the week, with both coming at the last possible second of each game. The Vols first lost to Vanderbilt on a buzzer-beater during the week before falling in the same fashion on Saturday against Missouri. No. 11 Iowa State also went 0-2 on the week, as did No. 24 Rutgers. No. 17 TCU played two ranked games on the week, also going 0-2 with losses against No. 12 Kansas State and No. 14 Baylor.

The revolving door in the No. 1 spot continues this week, with No. 1 Purdue falling against Northwestern over the weekend. Purdue beat Iowa earlier in the week, going 1-1. But No. 2 Houston went 1-0 on the week while No. 3 Alabama went 2-0. No. 4 Arizona and No. 5 Texas also lost one game over the course of the week, as the Wildcats fell against Stanford and the Longhorns lost against No. 9 Kansas.

Over the final few weeks of the season, teams are looking to add the final touches to their NCAA Tournament resumes. Conference tournaments are less than a month away, and more upsets are likely to continue to play a major role over the final few weeks.
