AP Top 25 Poll Projection, College Basketball Rankings Prediction: Gonzaga Is Rolling

AP Top 25 Prediction: College Basketball Week 18

No, the NCAA Tournament committee doesn't pay a whole lot of attention - at least it's not supposed to - when the polls and rankings come out, but it's hard to ignore the trends.

Kentucky and North Carolina are playing well, Tennessee is looking like a 1 seed, and Gonzaga - on an eight-game winning streak - has gone from the bubble to one of the hottest teams going after its win over Saint Mary's.
