A part of me wants to hold off on future Power Rankings until this little stretch of Horizon League play. It's so much easier to figure out how to compare teams when they're actually playing one another instead of relying on the transitive property. Remember when IUPUI was above Green Bay because of how they both played against Valparaiso? Wild times! On the other hand, non-league play seems like it's starting to make sense this year. The first week of league games actually didn't do too much to switch up the power rankings, with 10 of 11 teams moving 2 spots or less. In a league as tight as the Horizon League has been recently, that's probably less movement than you'll see in a week that happens in the middle of league play. Here's a look at this week's winners and losers:

Sorry for the delay in this week's power rankings, but I hope you find it was worth the wait. The way Oakland had been playing, we wanted to see if there might be something fun in store on Monday night. Fortunately, Trey Townsend and friends made that look like a good decision and comfortably earned the top spot with a win over Xavier. Beyond Oakland, there was quite a bit of shuffling among teams that had relatively similar results against both power conference foes and non-Division I opponents. Here's a look at how things shook out:

Cirque du Soleil paid to use the Wolstein Center for five days over Thanksgiving weekend, and the venue that’s often struggled to fill its...
