College Basketball Power Rankings: Florida State, Alabama on the rise

Much like the nation's men's college basketball pecking order has become a two-team tier atop the rest of the field, most of the big conferences have seen a clear delineation among its title contenders.

The ACC is Virginia, Florida State, and everyone else. In the Big East, despite its monthlong pause, Villanova has a three-game lead on Creighton in the loss column, and the Bluejays have struggled with consistency the last couple of weeks. Baylor is the heavy favorite in the Big 12, with Texas behind the Bears and everyone else queuing up some distance away.
