College Basketball Rankings: Wyoming and Colorado State are the only Mountain West team receiving votes in latest AP poll

SDSU fans, it's okay. The world hasn't come crashing down.

The Wyoming Cowboys (13-2, 2-0 Mountain West) and the Colorado State Rams (14-1, 1-1 Mountain West) are the only two Mountain West teams that received votes in the latest Associated Press top 25 poll.

With their 31 votes, the Rams are ranked No. 32 behind Temple and TCU. And with their 11 votes, the Cowboys are ranked No. 36 behind Washington.

The San Diego State Aztecs (11-4, 1-1 Mountain West) recently fell out of the AP top 25 for the first time in 23 polls. Now, after sustaining a very bad loss at Fresno State, the Aztecs didn't receive any votes.

Ouch.

SDSU, Colorado State and Wyoming all appear in ESPN's latest bracketology update, which Joe Lunardi released on Monday.

CSU is tied for No. 26, SDSU is tied for No. 32 and Wyoming is tied for No. 41  in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

There are lots of top-25 newcomers, this week: No. 19 Seton Hall, No. 20 VCU, No. 23 Arkansas and No. 25 Old Dominion. The Virginia Cavaliers remained No. 3 despite its near-loss at Miami last week. The top five remains the same as last week.
