College Basketball Rankings February 21: Purdue Moves Up to 4

Not much chaos last week.

NCAA Basketball: Rutgers at Purdue Marc Lebryk-USA TODAY Sports

Last week was a relatively quiet week in the top 25. Yes, two top 5 teams went down, but not in tremendous upsets. For Purdue, the Boilers mostly took care of business and solidified their position in the top 5. Kentucky’s loss was the biggest bonus, as Purdue moved to No. 4 this week, but just barely. Kansas only sits two votes behind Purdue, and with only one game this week Purdue could easily slip next week.
