After a midseason edition that handicapped the national title race, this week’s Power Rankings are based on the traditional criteria: a blend of a team’s résumé of wins and losses, its efficiency and its recent performance. Gonzaga is the last undefeated team standing, leads the nation in adjusted efficiency, and has been destroying the rest of the West Coast Conference; therefore the Zags are the new No. 1, and they’ll probably stay there for a while.
