College Basketball Rankings 2/3/20

We are finally starting to see what the tournament might look like. Even though Baylor is only the 10th ranked team in my rankings, they are really looking like a good team. After a quick week as the number one team, Duke falls back to the number 2 spot. Michigan State had a great week, beating Northwestern at home, and losing to Wisconsin by 1 on the road. After not much movement in last week’s rankings, this week was quite the shakeup. Like always, let me know on Twitter what you think of this week’s power rankings.
