The House of College Hoops Top 25: January 9th

It's utter mayhem this week! Many of our voters suggested this was the toughest ballot of the year to date, and we're happy to bring you our findings on this week's edition of the House of College Hoops Top 25.

This week was the week of the newcomers, as FIVE teams that were unranked last week earned a spot in our Top 25; three of which have never been ranked before. And with three Power Five teams showing themselves out the door with less-than-ideal losses this week, it made for the perfect storm of new entrants.
