Ohio State, the lone remaining unbeaten team, is a unanimous No. 1 in the men’s college basketball poll by The Associated Press.
The Buckeyes are one of three top 10 teams not to lose last week and they received all the first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday. It’s Ohio State’s third straight week at No. 1.
Kansas and Texas are the only other top 10s to escape last week without a loss. They jumped four places to second and third. Rounding out the top 10 are Pittsburgh, Duke, Connecticut, San Diego State, BYU, Notre Dame and Kentucky.
Four newcomers join the rankings — Arizona, Utah State, North Carolina and West Virginia. They replace Illinois, Florida State, Florida and Michigan State.
