There are a lot of huge matchups this week involving teams inside the Top 25. Here are predictions for all of those games.

We haven’t hit February yet and this college basketball season is starting to get weird. Upsets across the country have thrown the AP Top 25 into turmoil, which saw Baylor fall from No. 1 to No. 5 after an unprecedented two-loss week at home.

There are a lot of interesting matchups on tap this week, including a huge SEC showdown on Saturday between No. 2 Auburn and No. 12 Kentucky. Read on for predictions on who will win that game, as well as all of the other Top 25 matchups, below.
