Arizona takes over No. 1 in AP Top 25 men’s basketball poll, Iowa State into the top five, Gonzaga into top 10

Arizona earned 33 of 60 first-place votes after a perfect start including four wins over ranked teams, while Iowa State jumped six spots to No. 5 following a big win over Purdue.

  • On Monday, the Arizona Wildcats rose to No. 1 in the AP Top 25 after a perfect start including four wins against ranked foes, marking their first top spot since Dec. 11, 2023.
  • Iowa State's Saturday win over Purdue propelled the Cyclones into the top four and Purdue slid to sixth after the home loss in West Lafayette, Indiana.
  • Among other shifts, Gonzaga Bulldogs returned to the top 10 while Houston Cougars, Michigan State Spartans and BYU Cougars filled other high slots after a week of marquee matchups.
  • Only two teams remained unchanged from last week, and the Big 12, Big Ten and SEC each have six ranked teams, with the Big 12 placing four in the top 10 as we head into Week 6.
  • Iowa State's climb carries an unusual historical footnote: the Cyclones have never been ranked No. 1 in the AP poll era, while Michigan Wolverines and Duke Blue Devils also moved up with first-place votes.
