The biggest movement came courtesy of Louisville’s 73-70 win over Kentucky, which vaulted the Cardinals from 10th to No. 6 and dropped the Wildcats from sixth to No. 8.
An intrastate rivalry was also responsible for the one change among the 25 ranked teams, as No. 22 South Carolina fell out after a loss to Clemson, making room for Florida to enter the poll at No. 25.
Conference play begins this week, so the degree of difficulty for many schools will increase quickly. Put Louisville at the top of that list; the Cardinals host ACC opponent No. 12 Virginia this week before facing No. 16 Indiana in a non-conference game.
The full Top 25:
Others receiving votes: Maryland 40, Virginia Tech 37, Seton Hall 18, Clemson 12, Minnesota 8, Miami 8, Oklahoma State 7, Northwestern 5, South Carolina 4, UNC Wilmington 3, Arkansas 3, Iowa State 2.
