College Basketball: On3’s Week 10 Top 25

We have seen the holidays come and go and conference play has started across the college basketball landscape. As we transition into the new year, there has been some interesting movement among the top-25. No. 2 ranked Tennessee is now the only remaining undefeated team. This latest update welcomes teams like Memphis and Michigan back into the top-25 while Utah State and Nebraska make their first appearance of the season.

This list is how I see the twenty-five best teams in college basketball, after watching through the first nine weeks of games. There is a long way to go in this college basketball season, and if the non-conference schedule is any indication, a lot of twists and turns are sure to happen along the way.
