The Kansas Jayhawks have done it again! For the second consecutive week, they have retained their No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. The Jayhawks have been the top-ranked team in the poll since the start of the season and have held onto that spot despite some tough competition.
Meanwhile, the Miami Hurricanes have made a big jump in the rankings. After starting the season unranked, they have now reached the top 10 for the first time since 2018. This is a huge accomplishment for the Hurricanes, who have been on a steady rise since last season.
The Jayhawks and Hurricanes are not the only teams making waves in the rankings. The Baylor Bears have moved up to No. 3, while the Gonzaga Bulldogs have jumped to No. 4. The Villanova Wildcats have also moved up to No. 5, making them the highest-ranked Big East team in the poll.
It’s clear that the Big 12 and Big East conferences are dominating the rankings this season. The Big 12 has four teams in the top 10, while the Big East has three. This shows just how strong these two conferences are this year.
It’s also worth noting that the SEC has two teams in the top 10, with Alabama at No. 6 and Tennessee at No. 8. This is a big accomplishment for the conference, which has been struggling in recent years.
Overall, it’s been an exciting season so far for college basketball fans. The Kansas Jayhawks remain atop the rankings, while Miami has made a huge jump into the top 10. Meanwhile, other teams like Baylor, Gonzaga, and Villanova have all made impressive moves up the rankings. It looks like this season is going to be an exciting one for college basketball fans!
