College basketball has had itself a week. Not only did No. 1 Auburn and No. 2 Duke lose, but No. 5 Tennessee and No. 9 St. John’s both fell on the road, No. 11 Michigan State stumbled at home and unranked UConn went into Omaha and pulled one out over Creighton for the first time under Dan Hurley. (After which, incredibly, Hurley lodged insults at a bald man and boasted about his two rings.) Yes, this all happened in the last seven days.

Changes abound in the latest CBS Sports college basketball power rankings as a result.

Duke remained at No. 1, but Alabama bumped Auburn off the No. 2 line, and Florida’s rise to No. 3 – after its road win over the Tigers – knocked Auburn all the way down to No. 4. The latest top five is rounded out by Houston, which after a messy week is back atop the Big 12 standing alone.

There are also changes throughout the top 10 this week, which includes a hearty rise for Big Ten-leading Michigan, a fall out of the rankings for Michigan State, and – HELLO – a first-time appearance this season for Jerome Tang’s Kansas State Wildcats.

Let’s get to this week’s rankings. As always the caveat: this is not a ranking the best tourney résumés, nor the ranking of the best teams like Gary Parrish’s Top 25 and 1. The power rankings are compiled emphasizing recent results and the quantification of the eye test and vibes based on the evaluation of yours truly.

College Basketball Power Rankings

1. Duke

   • A road loss to a streaking Clemson team ended Duke’s 16-game winning streak, but isn’t enough to knock the Blue Devils from the No. 1 spot. They are 21-3 and still leading the ACC, though things have suddenly gotten interesting in the regular-season conference race. Last week: No. 1

2. Alabama

   • Alabama is No. 2 in the AP poll as it welcomes AP-ranked No. 1 Auburn for a big SEC showdown. The Tide lead college hoops in scoring offense and have won 15 of their last 16 games. Last week: No. 3

3. Florida

   • Florida became just the fifth team ever to beat an AP-ranked No. 1 team twice in a single season after downing Auburn on Saturday. Last week: No. 8

4. Auburn

   • A home loss to Florida ended Auburn’s winning streak at 14 games, but the 22-2 Tigers are still deserving of top-five status. Last week: No. 2

5. Houston

   • Houston has lost just once since December and has shaken off its OT home loss to Texas Tech with three consecutive wins in league play. Last week: No. 6

6. Michigan

   • Three weeks after suffering a humiliating 91-64 road loss to Purdue, Michigan avenged the loss with a 75-73 win over Purdue on Tuesday. Last week: NR

7. Texas A&M

   • The Aggies have four straight wins, with their biggest coming at Missouri. Last week: NR

8. Texas Tech

   • A double-overtime win helps offset a recent loss. Last week: No. 5

9. St. John’s

   • Despite a recent loss, the team remains strong in Big East play. Last week: No. 4

10. Kansas State

    • After a rough start to Big 12 play, Kansas State has turned things around and is playing with confidence. Last week: NR
