Upset-Heavy Week Brings Shakeup at the Top in Men's AP Poll

The new men's AP Top 25 rankings saw Kansas pass Baylor at No. 1 after the Jayhawks' big weekend win.

For the first time since taking over the No. 1 spot in the men's AP poll on Jan. 20, Baylor has been supplanted in the Top 25.

Kansas is the new No. 1 after ending the Bears' 23-game win streak in Waco over the weekend, with Baylor dropping just one spot after Gonzaga and San Diego State both also lost on Saturday.

The Aztecs' first loss opened the door to Dayton to move up to No. 4, with SDSU rounding out the top five.

Duke dropped just one spot, to No. 7, after losing by 22 to NC State earlier in the week and then beating Virginia Tech, and Florida State and Kentucky each moved up two spots within the Top 10.

Creighton earned its first appearance in the Top 10 this season after wins over Marquette and Butler.
