College Basketball Top 25 (3/5) – Time for Champ Week

Here is this week’s top 25! Sadly, due to my travel to the ACC Tournament in Brooklyn, my now-daily Bracketology, and the conference previews I will be writing over the course of the next two days, I did not have time to do explainers for every team this week. Apologies!

Keep in mind this is who I think is playing the best right now, not the best resumes for the year, which can be found in my Bracketology.
