Sorting through the top of the Power Rankings continues to be an easier task than defining the teams that deserve spots 20 through 25.

Blame the competitive nature of the Big 12 and the Big East for the chaos at the bottom. Kentucky and Virginia will continue to be No. 1 and No. 2 as long as they are undefeated. Of course, the Cavaliers will get their stiffest test of the season on Saturday when Duke visits John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville. The Blue Devils are bouncing up and down within the top 10 and drop to No. 7 after Wednesday’s loss at Notre Dame. Mike Brey’s Fighting Irish suddenly appear to be a Final Four contender.

Two other big games coming up: Iowa State at Kansas on Monday, and Wichita State and Northern Iowa on Saturday.

Here are this week’s rankings. – Ken Davis
