As we enter February Purdue and UConn have separated themslves into a pretty clear top two. Purdue jsut got two gigantic wins to take firm control of the Big Ten, while UConn just keeps winning period. Both teams have a nation's best eight Tier 1 victories. Having them in the top two is not a shock.

The rest of the top 10 had a major shakeup as there were four top 10 vs. top 10 games over the weekend. North Carolina and Kansas were the big winners.
