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.
Thanks for doing that. It wasn't just the Houston game for UCF. They blew the doors off of SMU and handled USF away quite nicely. They are playing some damn good basketball and I am more than a little worried going to their house on senior day. If we beat them it will be no small feat.
