AP Top 25 Poll shaken up following another exciting week of college basketball
Another week of college basketball is in the books, and the action was as exciting as it’s been all season long. After the action came to an end, a new AP Top 25 Poll has been released with some movement throughout the rankings.
Nine teams had perfect weeks, escaping with zero losses. Six of those nine teams were ranked in last week’s top ten, with teams outside the top ten suffering a lot of losses throughout. 12 teams picked up one loss on the week, while four teams lost twice.
Four top ten teams lost exactly one time last week – No. 1 Purdue, No. 4 UConn, No. 5 Arizona and No. 6 Texas.
The four teams that lost twice over the last seven days certainly had weeks to forget. No. 15 Indiana fell against Iowa and Northwestern. No. 19 Baylor lost against TCU and Kansas State. No. 21 New Mexico suffered losses against Fresno State and UNLV, and No. 24 Ohio State fell in losses to Purdue and Maryland.

The top contenders in the country continue to separate themselves, with the top ten largely remaining in tact. Elsewhere in the Top 25, though, there was no shortage of movement.
