The latest AP Top 25 poll solidifies Arizona as the unanimous No. 1 team for the first time this season, receiving all 61 first-place votes. The Wildcats (18-0) are one of three remaining undefeated teams, joined by Nebraska (No. 7) and Miami (OH), which ranks for the first time in 27 years. Iowa State tumbled to No. 9 after consecutive losses.

Arizona’s top ranking follows a strong road win over UCF, extending a dominant stretch where they’ve trailed for under 12 minutes in conference play. Meanwhile, Kansas re-enters the poll at No. 23, replacing Tennessee. The rankings reflect a shifting landscape, with North Carolina falling eight spots and Clemson climbing four after key victories.

What’s next for the top teams? Arizona hosts Cincinnati in a marquee matchup, while UConn faces Villanova. The poll’s movement sets the stage for conference races, with unbeaten records and recent losses reshaping the national hierarchy as the season progresses.
