FoxSports.com college basketball power rankings – March 5

Syracuse and Michigan State, two teams with Final Four aspirations, continue to drop in the Power Rankings. Creighton and Saint Louis, two terrific stories for college hoops, both are suddenly suffering through two-game losing streaks. And the battle for the top four seeds in the NCAA Tournament is down to five talented teams.

But the big news this week is we’ve given the boot to Kentucky. Remember those t-shirts that predicted a 40-0 season in Lexington this season? Not sure you could even find them on eBay now. The Wildcats lost at South Carolina last Saturday and had a tough time against Alabama Tuesday night. It seems coach John Calipari would rather be elsewhere. Perhaps he is pondering a return to the NBA?

We give the Wildcats no shot at all to win Saturday at Florida. Here are the latest power rankings.
