Power Sweet Sixteen Rankings

After an interesting week jam-packed with college hoops and top teams heading on the road to defend their legitimacy, the Power Sweet Sixteen Rankings have plenty of shake-ups. Five teams that were ranked last week lost, and several others in contention also fell. How will that affect this week's Rankings? I will post the rankings every Sunday until I begin to release complete brackets in February.

- Standard bracketing rules apply (no two teams from the same conference in the same half-bracket, etc.)
