This was a pretty slow week with only a handful of games played due to finals week, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a lot of movement among the teams in our power rankings. A team went from ninth to fifth and two teams fell from sixth to tied for eighth and tenth. This is shaping up to be as unpredictable of a season as ever in the conference, and our struggles putting together these rankings show that.
Note: Rankings are compiled through Sundays' games.
