Composite Rankings 1/28

Some movement!

• Duke's loss to UConn drops them from #5 to #7 (hurt by #17 RPI). The tests are coming: thx to a scheduling quirk, 0 of their first 8 ACC games were against the composite top 50. But 8 of their last 10 are.
• Penn St (now #8) swaps spots with Kentucky (now #10)
• SCar makes a big move #16 to #12
• Georgia, Iowa, Nebraska with solid rank gains
• So Florida moves up to become the 8th big east team in the top 50
• Mich, Mich St, Okla St with double-digit % declines
• Hosts St Johns (57), Ohio St (61), LSU (65) still not looking good
