Big 12 Lands Season-High 5 Teams in the AP Top 25, No. 9 Vandy's Ranking Highest Since 1937, LSU Out

The Big 12 conference places five teams in the Top 25 for the first time this season while Vanderbilt achieves its highest ranking in 88 years, and LSU falls out after three losses.

  • On Sunday, the Associated Press Top 25 showed Ohio State Buckeyes and Indiana Hoosiers remained Nos. 1 and 2, LSU Tigers dropped out, and the Big 12 Conference placed five teams in the Top 25.
  • Following road losses to Mississippi and Vanderbilt and a 24-point home loss to Texas A&M, LSU Tigers dropped out while Vanderbilt's 7-1 start and three Top 25 wins boosted their ranking.
  • For the first time since Nov. 12, 2023, the top six remained unchanged as the idle Ohio State Buckeyes received 53 first-place votes and the Indiana Hoosiers drew 11, six more than last week.
