The college basketball AP Top 25 poll is out following an exciting opening week of college hoops.

This week, 8 SEC teams find themselves in the top 25, the same as last week minus Texas. The Longhorns fell to Ohio State and bounced back with a win over Houston Christian.

The biggest rise this week was Auburn, which proved itself to perhaps be the best team in college basketball with a monster win over Vermont and an even more impressive win over Houston. I’ll be blunt with y’all: I have no idea how the Tigers are only ranked 5th in the latest rankings.

Texas A&M took the biggest tumble, but they still made the rankings at No. 23. The Aggies started the year as the No. 13 team but fell to UCF in Orlando on opening night.

Other top teams include Alabama and Tennessee, with the Crimson Tide earning the top SEC ranking of this latest poll. Nate Oats’ squad put a beatdown on UNC Asheville before winning a matchup that was closer than the Tide would like against Arkansas State, a well-rounded team out of the ASUN.
