AP Top 25 Poll Rankings (Jan. 28)

Some of the new polls are out, so make sure to see if your team has moved up, moved out, or just joined the 25-best club in any of the nation’s most well-respected polls. The AP is probably the one that matters the most, but as of this blog’s publication the latest AP posting has not come out yet. Memphis remained the No. 1 team in the nation in the USA Today/ESPN Poll, as well as most other polls. Kansas, Duke, UNC, UCLA, Georgetown and Tennessee all pretty much stayed pat from their rankings last week in the top 10. There were some significant moves in the middle and back of the poll, though. Both Mississippi and Mississippi State, two SEC teams, were kicked out of the ESPN Poll. Notre Dame and UConn, two Big East teams, made the jump to rankdom this time around. Rhode Island and Perdue received the most votes to join the list of the teams that are outside of the 25.

As the conference schedules continue, there should be a few more shakeups at the top of the rankings. The Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels are going to play this week, so one of those teams is going to have a big win, the other will have a loss to consider (though if they play to overtime or something- a likely scenario- the loser will probably not see too much of a negative affect on their rankings).
