Purdue Reclaims No. 1 From Houston in AP Top 25, Louisville and Illinois Jump Into Top 10

Purdue earned 44 first-place votes after a key road win over top-10 Alabama, ending Houston’s single-week stay at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 men's basketball poll.

  • On Monday, the Purdue Boilermakers reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the Associated Press Top 25 after a statement road win over then‑top‑10 Alabama, reclaiming the position from Houston Cougars men's basketball team.
  • Houston Cougars men's basketball team spent just one week at No. 1 after leapfrogging Purdue, reflecting early‑season rankings updates that produced another top‑ranking shakeup in the poll.
  • Panel voting data shows multiple teams received No. 1 ballots this week, with the Purdue Boilermakers earning more first-place support than Houston, while UConn Huskies, Arizona Wildcats and Duke Blue Devils also received No. 1 votes from the 61-member AP media panel.
  • That projected shuffle leaves UConn Huskies, Duke Blue Devils and Arizona Wildcats behind Purdue in the top five, and a No. 1 team can lose the top spot without a loss entering Week 3.
  • Conference counts show the Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC each with six teams in the Top 25, while San Diego State Aztecs lead outside followed by Indiana Hoosiers on 18 ballots and Georgetown Hoyas with six ballots at 4-0.
