A significant shake-up occurred in the AP college basketball rankings as No. 1 Auburn lost to Florida at home, while No. 2 Duke fell to Clemson. Despite this, Auburn retains its top position, while Duke drops to third. Alabama climbs to No. 2, setting the stage for a notable matchup between them next weekend. UConn's unexpected defeat by St. John's leads to their exit from the rankings, making space for Creighton. Arizona makes strides upward, while Marquette and Maryland fall in the rankings.
Saturday's defeat of Auburn set a series of records for the Gators. They are the fifth team in AP Poll history to defeat two different No. 1 teams in a single season.
Despite the home loss, Auburn remains No. 1 this week, while Duke's does drop it down a spot to No. 3 (tied with Florida).
Alabama is now 9-1 in conference play -- its third time starting 9-1 or better in conference play under Nate Oats.
Clemson, meanwhile, reaped the benefits of its win to enter the AP poll at No. 23.
