As we enter March, the top 25 teams in the country are starting to become more stable. Auburn remains the only two-loss team in the rankings. The Tigers continue to have big matchups as they navigate the SEC.
This week, while teams shifted around, no teams moved into or out of the top 25 list.
This list is how I see the twenty-five best teams in college basketball, after watching through the first 17 weeks of games. This season is coming to an end, and if these last few weeks of conference games are any indication, there still could be some twists and turns that continue to happen.
But for this moment, as we are inching toward March Madness, here are On3’s updated Top 25 college basketball rankings as we enter week 18 of the college basketball season.
