RCT College Basketball Top 25 - Week 3 - 12/23/2013

Our weekly attempt to make sense of the College Basketball hierarchy.

Sorry this is up so late. Voting was taken after the conclusion of games on 10/22. So all the Monday results are not included in this poll, even though they wouldn't have changed the results anyway.

Quite a bit of shuffling throughout the poll, and the bottom portion was just utter chaos. I'll continue to add additional information to the poll as we go. No comments made their way into this week's poll, but there is more to see than last week.

1 Arizona(5) 125 1 Unanimous #1 for the third week in a row.
2 Syracuse 118 2
3 Wisconsin 107 4
4 Ohio State 106 3

6 Michigan State 98 6
7 Oklahoma State 90 8
8 Louisville 88 9
9 Baylor 87 7
10 Wichita State 69 14
