The final AP Top 25 poll ahead of next week's Selection Sunday has a familiar face at the top of the rankings but there are plenty of changes throughout the poll elsewhere after a wild weekend in college hoops. Houston retained its No. 1 spot for a third consecutive week, while UCLA jumped to its highest ranking since the 2016-17 season up to No. 2.
Kansas and Purdue held steady at No. 3 and No. 5, respectively, while Alabama dropped to No. 4 in the poll.
Houston earned 58 first-place votes in the poll this week in garnering all but three first-place votes from voters, its largest share of first-place votes all season. UCLA, which moved up from No. 4 to No. 2 this week, earned the outstanding three first-place votes.
Changes elsewhere in the top 10 gave the AP poll this week a makeover with Baylor the biggest faller among those from No. 7 to No. 10 this week. Texas jumped two spots to No. 7 despite losing to TCU after its big regular-season finale win over Kansas. Gonzaga also moved up in the rankings, from No. 10 to No. 9. Marquette and Arizona remained at No. 6 and No. 8.
