College Basketball Team Rankings - February 6, 2012
The Rankings
Ohio State maintains its spot at the top, with a comfortable 2 point cushion over the next best team (which is significant, considering how bunched together the GPF's tend to be).
Despite their undefeated record, the betting market still doesn't think much of Murray State at this point.
On the flip side, you have Wichita State and New Mexico; two teams ranked strongly here, as well as kenpom.com, but neither are in the Top 25 in the two major polls.
