Auburn stays at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll despite a loss to No. 3 Florida. UConn, the two-time defending national champions, drops out of the poll for the first time in two years after a loss to St. John's. Florida earns its highest ranking since 2013-14 after defeating Auburn on the road.
Auburn remains at the top of the AP Top 25 college basketball rankings despite falling to No. 3 Florida . This marks the fifth consecutive week Auburn has held the No. 1 spot, receiving 34 first-place votes from a 61-person media panel. Alabama moved up to No. 2, garnering 23 first-place votes, trailing Auburn by just nine points. Florida , having achieved its highest ranking since 2013-14, secured three top votes after defeating Auburn on the road.
Tennessee claimed one top vote, holding steady at No. 5. Meanwhile, UConn, the two-time defending national champions, dropped out of the poll for the first time in two years after a 68-62 home loss to St. John's. This loss ended the Huskies' 53-week streak of being ranked, the nation's fourth-longest active streak. St. John's made a notable jump, entering the top 10 for the first time since the 1999-2000 season. Florida's victory over Auburn marks their second win against a top-ranked team this season, previously defeating then-No. 1 Tennessee in January. Other notable shifts in the rankings include Duke dropping two spots to No. 4 after a loss to Clemson, ending their 16-game winning streak. Iowa State also dropped two places after losing to Kansas. Arizona experienced the week's biggest jump, ascending seven spots following victories against BYU and Texas Tech. Ole Miss moved up six spots after defeating Kentucky and LSU on a last-second shot. The SEC maintained its dominance with at least nine teams in the poll for the seventh consecutive week, including the top three and five of the top 10.
