The latest college basketball Top 25 polls are out today, and the 18-1 BYU Cougars make an anticipated jump up the rankings.
BYU comes in 13th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Poll and 14th in the AP survey, up from 17th and 18th last week.
New Mexico ranks 29th/28th, UNLV is 35th/NR, and SDSU is 44th/NR; BYU victim Arizona State is 33rd/43rd.

BYU is up to a 4 seed in Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology projection. UNLV is a 9 seed and New Mexico a 10. Note: Lunardi has BYU playing in Spokane, which is not possible, since Spokane is a Friday/Sunday site.

ESPN's Andy Katz has these MWC-related reactions to the Coaches' poll:
--
"BYU is No. 13 and you can make a strong argument for the Cougars to be No. 1 in the West, but having them as No. 2 is fine."
"...not sure I understand how San Diego State, Saint Mary's or Old Dominion could have received a vote this past week."

No D1 team has more wins than BYU; Kentucky is tied for the national lead in victories at 18-0.
