WEEK 7 TITLE ODDS POWER RANKINGS

College basketball enters the seventh week of action following the New Year Holidays. Week 6 saw plenty of drama, including the announcement of the Arizona Wildcats banning themselves from postseason play.

The Pac-12 was overall impressive, including the Colorado Buffaloes who went 1-2 but performed well over a three-game road stretch. The Iowa Hawkeyes also saw a strong week, winning a much needed road game against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

The Texas Longhorns also demolished the Kansas Jayhawks in Lawerence, perhaps the most impressive win this past week.

Side Note: Oklahoma State is currently in an appeals battle to become postseason eligible. When their case is officially ruled, they will be subject to removal from the rankings according to the ruling.

Here the Top 25 teams for Week 7 of the college basketball season.
