Another week is in the books, and we are just about halfway through conference play! George Mason takes sole possession of first place for the first time in the history of the power rankings. Meanwhile, we have our first-ever three-way tie for any place also in the history of the power rankings. UMass, La Salle, and Fordham all tied for 11th place this week. Richmond slides down to third place after a loss to Duquesne last week. A few big games this week include VCU hosting Duquesne on Wednesday, Rhode Island traveling to Duquesne on Saturday, and George Mason going to Loyola Chicago on Saturday.
Here’s a look at the updated standings:
