Auburn retains its top position in the AP Top 25 men's college basketball poll following victories in both games last week. Alabama bounced back from two previous losses to defeat Kentucky, though they fell out of the top five due to Houston's commanding lead in the Big 12. Other rankings shifted with Purdue, Arizona, Marquette, and Mississippi State suffering upsets which dropped them down, while BYU and Saint Mary's made notable entries into the poll. Kansas, after an extended period, is no longer ranked for the first time in nearly four years.
