"Entering Feast Week, Purdue remains No. 1, although Arizona jumps up to No. 2. No. 3 Houston, No. 4 Duke and No. 5 UConn round out the top-5. The biggest riser from Week 2 was No. 11 Michigan State (six spots). No. 19 Kentucky (seven spots), No. 20 Texas Tech (five spots) and No. 13 Illinois (five spots) fell the most. Wisconsin and Kansas dropped out of the rankings entirely, making way for Vanderbilt and Indiana."
"Stat to know: Arizona is the third team in AP Poll history to have multiple wins over Top-3 opponents within its first five games of a season (then-No. 3 UConn last week, then-No. 3 Florida in Week 1). The others? Kansas defeated No. 2 LSU and No. 1 UNLV in 1989-90; Duke defeated No. 1 UCLA on consecutive days in 1965-66."
The third AP Top 25 poll for 2025-26 ranks Purdue at No. 1 entering Feast Week. Arizona moves up to No. 2 while Houston, Duke and UConn occupy spots three through five. Michigan State climbed six spots to No. 11. Kentucky, Texas Tech and Illinois fell multiple places, and Wisconsin and Kansas dropped out, with Vanderbilt and Indiana entering the rankings. Purdue is 6-0 and recorded a 30-point Baha Mar Championship win over Texas Tech, its largest win over an AP top-15 team. Arizona is 5-0 with multiple early Top-3 victories. Houston opened 5-0 for the sixth time under Kelvin Sampson. Cameron Boozer has two 25-point, 10-rebound games on 80% shooting, a rare freshman accomplishment.
