The Coaches Poll Top 25 rankings have been updated after the final week of the regular season for an insane year in college basketball.

It was borderline impossible for many teams to separate themselves from the pack, and that’s evident as we enter conference tournament week. Still, there’s a couple more days for bubble teams to prove they belong, and multiple programs are going to have to make runs to get to the NCAA Tournament.

Some huge games took place over the weekend that are sure to have an impact on this week’s rankings. The Alabama Crimson Tide fell to the Texas A&M Aggies is a hugely disappointing loss for Nate Oats’ squad, with Wade Taylor IV providing 28 points on the way to victory.

Meanwhile, other highly ranked teams like the Baylor Bears, Kansas State Wildcats, and Tennessee Volunteers are all entering their respective tournaments coming off losses, as well. On the other hand, don’t look now but the Kentucky Wildcats are feeling themselves, and they’ll be ready and roaring to avenge their upset loss last season during the NCAA Tournament.

For many teams, the conference tournament will be their sole shot at getting to the dance. Every season some team is able to go on a miraculous run that culminates with them etching their name on the March Madness bracket, and it’ll be fascinating to see who can do that this season.

Before all that begins, here’s the full Coaches Poll Top 25 rankings, with Selection Sunday looming large in the background.
