The Ohio State Buckeyes remain undefeated, and therefore, they maintain their unanimous top spot in this week's AP Top 25 poll. The Buckeyes survived a scare against Michigan on Thursday and defeated last week's No. 18 Minnesota on Sunday. Led by phenom freshman Jared Sullinger, the Buckeyes continue to stake their claim as the nation's best team.
Otherwise, there wasn't a ton of movement at the top of the poll. The top five remains the same, with No. 2 Kansas, No. 3 Texas, No. 4 Pittsburgh and No. 5 Duke remaining in their spots from last week. Connecticut fell from No. 6 to No. 10 after a loss to Syracuse, and Kentucky fell from No. 10 to No. 18 after losses to Mississippi and Tennessee. San Diego State, BYU and Notre Dame each jumped a spot to No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9, respectively, and Villanova moved up three spots to No. 9 to round out the top 10. Florida (No. 17) and Temple (No. 24) are this week's new Top 25 teams.
