Syracuse has been rewarded for its two game winning streak by moving up to 13th in the college basketball rankings. However its climb may have gone further if not for decisions ESPN's Eamonn Brennan calls simply inexplicable.
There were no surprises at the top as undefeated Ohio State remains No. 1. In fact, the top six spots all stayed the same, meaning the Buckeyes were followed by Kansas, Texas, Pittsburgh, Duke and San Diego State, in that order.
This means that once again, No. 4 Pittsburgh was ranked behind No. 3 Texas, which has a worse record and lost to the Panthers earlier this year.
Syracuse suffers from the same problem, being ranked four spots behind No. 9 Connecticut despite having two more wins and beating the Huskies on their court last week.
Elsewhere, the Big East continues to dominate. Notre Dame moved up one spot to No. 7. Villanova and Georgetown are ranked 10th and 11th, respectively. Louisville fell after a loss at Georgetown, dropping to No. 15.
