AP Top 25 Poll updated after another chaotic week of college basketball

The AP Top 25 Poll rankings have been updated after another chaotic week of college basketball, where we saw plenty of upsets and some interesting final scores.
In one of the biggest games of the weekend, Kansas used an insane second half comeback to send Baylor back to Waco unhappy, defeating the Bears by a score of 87-71. Meanwhile, Kentucky shocked Tennessee on the former’s way back into the fold, as things are looking up for the Wildcats moving forward.
Additionally, two of the top programs in the country took care of business on Sunday, as the Houston Cougars and Purdue Boilermakers had big wins. Both programs are going to be in the conversation for one seeds in the NCAA Tournament, and could make a run at the entire thing.
