Kentucky fell in the AP Poll following the loss to UCLA, but not as far as you might think. The Cats are No. 19 in the latest Top 25, a six-spot drop from last week. The Bruins, who beat the Cats 63-53 in the CBS Sports Classic, now hold Kentucky‘s old spot, No. 13.
Purdue remains the No. 1 team in the country, but the rest of the top five is all shook up. UConn is No. 2, Houston No. 3, Kansas No. 4, and Arizona No. 5. Tennessee is the highest-ranked team from the SEC, coming in at No. 8, followed by Alabama at No. 9, Arkansas at No. 10, Mississippi State at No. 15, Kentucky at No. 19, and Auburn at No. 23.
