AP Top 25 Poll: Auburn, Alabama Fall in Weekly Rankings
Both Auburn and Alabama have fallen in the latest AP Top 25 College Basketball Poll.
Auburn fell from No. 3 to No. 5 following its 67-62 loss to Tennessee.
Alabama dropped from No. 24 to No. 25 even with its 90-71 victory over South Carolina.
Overall, it was a week of big changes because the top six and seven of the top 10 teams lost on the same day last week, both records.
But Gonzaga and Arizona remained the top two teams in the poll released, holding steady despite both losing their most recent games.
