Just a day after the NFL season ended, college hoops is set to roll out its most exciting week of action yet. If this week doesn’t get you into college basketball season, I’m not sure anything will.

While we say goodbye to some familiar faces (it was fun knowing you UConn and North Carolina), it’s time to say hello to a few more. Which is exactly what we do in this week’s Power Rankings, as we welcome not only a new No. 1 ranked team, but also two new teams that have come to command our respect.

Despite a lot of college basketball action over the last seven days, it was a surprisingly quiet week overall. While No. 1 Texas did lose twice, everyone else at the top- Kentucky, Villanova, Kansas, Syracuse- held strong, and improved their tournament resumes as we head toward March.

Conference play is under way, and college basketball is heating up. And there’s a new No. 1 team in the Power Rankings, after four unbeaten teams last week were trimmed to just a remaining two today.

It’s been two weeks since the last Power Rankings, and in that time, Kansas has reclaimed its spot on top of the throne.

It’s been a quiet couple week’s in college basketball, as most schools and players have seen more time with their textbooks for final exams than time with their teammates on the court. But don’t worry, that’s about to change as we’re just a week away from conference play kicking off in full-swing.

We promised you last week that these College Basketball Power Rankings would fluctuate all season long, and that’s exactly what happened over the past seven days, as we welcome in four new teams.

As with any year in college basketball, it is right around the middle of December, and the elite are starting to rise to the top of the sport. Villanova and Kentucky improved with signature wins last week, while Kansas and Texas continued to roll through the opposition. Michigan State and North Carolina? Well, they’ve got some work to do.

For some, the Thanksgiving holiday is filled with massive food and football consumption. But for many, it’s also a chance to see many of college basketball’s top teams battle in some good early season tournaments.
