AP men's college basketball Top 25 poll breakdown
"This is the fifth time in AP Poll history (since 1948-49) that three teams -- in this season's case, Arizona, Nebraska and Miami (OH) -- have started 20-0. And all three are in the poll for a second consecutive week. The Wildcats remain the unanimous No. 1 for a second straight week. They, along with UConn, Michigan, Duke and BYU, were the only teams whose rankings remain unchanged."
"The top-5 has a new face after Purdue dropped out of the top-10 entirely with two straight losses. At No. 5 now is Nebraska, its highest ranking in program history. Illinois joins the top-10 as well. After the Boilermakers' eight-spot drop, the biggest fallers include Alabama (six spots); Houston and Clemson (four spots each); and Virginia, Vanderbilt and Florida (three spots each). Georgia drops out of the poll to make way for St. John's, at No. 25."
