As expected, there is not a lot of movement in the top 25 for college basketball this week. Almost everyone played a cupcake or two and won in preparation for upcoming early season tournaments. Even the Champions Classic didn’t cause a ton of movement. The only significant loss was West Virginia falling at home in overtime to Buffalo, giving the MAC a ranked team for the first time in ages.
