I didn't renew my Kenpom subscription this year, but I have been checking the rankings every now and then. I don't remember them ever being more than a few spots away from 30.

NCAA.com keeps an archive of their team sheets. Here's the rankings After the UCF game, and the change since:

UC
26 BPI (+3)
31 Kenpom (0)
28 Sagarin (-2)
32 Torvik (+2)

UCF
45 BPI (-11)
50 Kenpom (-14)
41 Sagarin (-10)
44 Torvik (-17)

UCF has improved in all metrics for good reason. Winning at Houston will do that. UC has been steady. Going farther back shows a bigger disparity. Here's our rankings from January 7 (first release of the season):

UC
21 BPI (+8)
30 Kenpom (+1)
21 Sagarin (+5)
19 Torvik (+15)

Kenpom has been remarkably stable.
