1. Gonzaga Bulldogs

Previous ranking: 2

Record: 17-0 (5-0 WCC)

Gonzaga stands alone atop the college basketball landscape. America’s lone unbeaten team topped Loyola Marymount and Saint Mary’s last week. The Bulldogs will visit Santa Clara this week to maintain their stranglehold on the WCC.

Next: Where does Gonzaga stand in the latest Bracketology?

Washington transfer Nigel Williams-Goss should surge up the national POY rankings after his 19-point, six-assist performance over the Gaels. That pushed his season averages to 15.2 points, 4.9 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game. Mizzou transfer Johnathan Williams and former Cal Golden Bear, Jordan Mathews, had 14 and 16 in that same game, respectively. The WCC isn’t a real test for the Zags, but this is one of Mark’s Few best and most talented teams ever. A title run isn’t necessarily out of the question for the Spokane program.
