Drummers drumming? Lords a leaping? Maids a milking? That's all well and good, but what would December be without 10 mid-majors mingling?
We'll be back after Christmas. For now, here are the rankings.
1. Green Bay (8-1)
The Phoenix earned a place in the AP Top 25 after a win against ranked Marquette on Dec. 2, then lived up to the ranking with a commanding win at Dayton and a rout at Loyola, a former conference opponent that had a knack for tripping up even the best Green Bay teams during the years they shared in the Horizon League (Loyola is now in the Missouri Valley).
