The Division III men's basketball rankings are here. There have been some changes, as three of last week's top 25 teams are now out of the mix.

With slight shifts happening this week, eyes will be on the games for the division this week, as unranked teams are looking for that big upset that could cause drastic changes moving forward.

Here is what to know about the latest DIII rankings.

UW-Platteville Is On A Roll

  • Although, the team owns a 20-point loss to the now no. 5 Illinois Wesleyan earlier in the season, UW-Platteville men's basketball is at the top of the division, ranked No. 1.
  • Even with wins over UW-Eau Claire and UW-River Falls, the Pioneers gathered 17 first place votes, four less than last week, Emory and defending champion Trine are the other teams behind them.
  • Cal Lutheran, Keene State, and John Carrol were the new teams to make it into this week's rankings.
