There's been quite a few changes in the Top 25 over the past week.  Most notably, Alabama jumps back up thanks to their upset win at home over Auburn.  South Carolina has also had a surprisingly strong showing in SEC play and have entered the Top 25.  Purdue overtakes Arizona for the top spot after the Wildcats were upset earlier in the week.  Houston, who had the best start of anybody all year, have rejoined the conversation at #6.  Wisconsin, the dark horse of the Big Ten have also broken into the Top 10.  There is lots of basketball still to play and these conferences games are getting better and better.  The conference tournaments will surely be a sight to behold.
