Baylor retained its spot at No. 1 in the latest AP Top 25 poll released Monday. It's the second consecutive week the Bears sit at No. 1 in the poll after another flawless week in which they went 2-0 to push their winning streak to 16 with a close home win over Oklahoma followed by a road win over Florida on Saturday.
Baylor's strong week helped it strengthen its grip on the No. 1 spot, garnering 44 of a possible 64 first-place votes after narrowly edging Gonzaga 33 to 31 in first-place votes a week ago. Gonzaga had held the No. 1 spot for four weeks before Baylor jumped the Bulldogs last week.
The rest of last week's top five remains unchanged: Gonzaga, Kansas, San Diego State and Florida State stayed steady at Nos. 2-5. The only change in the top 10 is Duke dropping one spot to No. 9 and Villanova moving up one spot to No. 8. It's the first time all season the top seven did not change.
This week's poll featured three teams not ranked last week as No. 22 LSU, No. 23 Wichita State and No. 24 Penn State joined the rankings after being ranked earlier this season.
Arizona, Memphis and Texas Tech fell out of the AP Top 25.
