Riding a nine-game win streak, the Florida Gators are my new No. 1 after North Carolina fell at Virginia Tech. UCLA got a hard-fought win over USC on Arron Afflalo's winning shot. I was impressed with Pittsburgh in its win over Georgetown as this is Jamie Dixon's deepest team. Oregon moves up with its upset win at Arizona.
