Here are the 4 biggest winners and losers of college basketball this week

• Just seven weeks into the college basketball season, fans have witnessed the fall of titans and the rise of underdogs.
• Although the top of the AP Top 25 Poll remained the same as last week, some shake-up in the middle has teams buzzing as conference play rapidly approaches.
• Here are the four biggest winners and losers of Week 7 of the college basketball season.

Winners

▲ St. John's Red Storm — Received 59 votes in the AP Top 25 Poll

The only undefeated team that has yet to break into the AP Top 25 Poll, the St. John's Red Storm emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Junior guard Shamorie Ponds has led the Red Storm to a perfect 10-0 record — their best start in 36 years — thanks to 21.0 points and 5.8 assists per contest. St. John's readily handled Princeton and Wagner this week, but the team's best wins of the season came against Georgia Tech and Cal. 

▲ No. 9 North Carolina Tar Heels — Up 3 spots in the AP Top 25 Poll

No. 9 North Carolina picked up early losses this season against Texas and undefeated Michigan, but since then the Tar Heels have looked as good as any team in the country. Roy Williams' squad picked up a convincing 13-point win against Gonzaga to deal the Bulldogs their second consecutive loss after starting the season undefeated. North Carolina will host John Calipari and No. 19 Kentucky Saturday before preparing to tackle a tough ACC schedule in the new year.
