While no one in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll lost this week, this week’s College Basketball Power 10 still sees a lot of shaking up.

Last week, college basketball didn’t have the same hype and excitement as the week before.

Following a week that had seven matchups between ranked teams, last week’s highlight was two ranked teams in Iowa State and Saint Mary’s losing on the same night and Butler losing to a mid-major in Indiana State.

The Sycamores became the second mid-major team from Indiana to upset a major in-state program this year — Fort Wayne defeated the Indiana Hoosiers earlier in this year.

After a month of games, there are still six undefeated teams left in the nation. Plus, major conferences look to have the potential of really close conference races this season, including the Big 12.

Unlike most years in Kansas’ 12-year regular-season championship run, the Jayhawks have real competition in Baylor and West Virginia this year. Kansas will still be big favorites heading into Big 12 play, however they’ll have to fight more than in recent years.

There will be more games between ranked opponents and better matchups this week, however that doesn’t mean nothing happened last week. There are still big shake ups in the College Basketball Power 10.

A month has come and gone and conference play starts in a couple of weeks, so here’s a look at the top 10 teams in college basketball right now.
