POSTED: February 4, 2019 -- 12:10 p.m. CST
The Houston Cougars (21-1) moved up 1 spot in the USA Today Coaches Top 25 as well as the Associated Press Top 25 national polls. Both polls were announced Monday. In addition to those polls, Houston is ranked 7th in the NCAA's latest NET rankings.
Houston received 439 points to rank No. 12 in the Week 13 USA TODAY Coaches' Poll (424 points and 13th in the Week 12 poll). Houston received 838 points to rank 12th in the Week 14 Associated Press Top 25 Poll (up from 13 with 795 points in the Week 13 poll).
As of the games played through February 3rd, Houston is ranked 7th in the NCAA's NET Rankings. The NET rankings replaced RPI as the primary sorting tool for evaluating teams.
The system relies on game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin, net offensive and defensive efficiency and qualities of wins and losses.
It was approved in July after consultation with the Division I Men's Basketball committee, National Association of Basketball Coaches, top basketball analytics and Google Cloud Professional Services.
The Coogs' next game is Thursday, February 7, at UCF, at 6 p.m., on CBS Sports Network.
