In this week's rankings, Ohio moves into the top 40 thanks to a win over Cincinnati, Bowling Green moves up in relation to MAC rival Western Michigan, and we make some other debatable changes.
Along with sliding Lindenwood-Belleville down, we punished Towson for losing to Georgetown... a little.
Georgetown hasn't won any other games in the Chesapeake Conference, and so the Hoyas won't be included... yet. Towson had some close losses and a notable victory on its resume, too, but the Tigers are now on shaky ground.
The same could be said of Maryland, which has been competitive but is only 1-4 in conference play.
Kentucky might feel hard done by for moving down despite winning, but it can happen at times when other teams do something to move up.
