College Basketball Rankings February 27: Everyone Lost

It was a bad week if you were a ranked team. After Purdue reaches its highest placement in the polls of the season at No. 14 it lost. There wasn't a ton of movement, as almost everyone else lost too. That makes it feel like a real missed opportunity. Purdue could have moved closer to the top 10, but was not able to take advantage of those in front of them losing. The following ranked teams all lost last week:

1. Gonzaga

2. Villanova

4. Arizona

6. Louisville

9. Baylor

11. Duke (twice)

12. Florida

14. Purdue

15 Wisconsin (twice)

16. Cincinnati

19. Virginia

23. Creighton (twice)

24. Maryland (twice)

That's just under half the top 25 with at least one loss last week. Fortunately, Purdue stays in the top 25 for a 36th straight week at No. 16:
