College basketball: Kansas a runaway No. 1 in AP basketball poll
Kansas is a runaway No. 1 in The Associated Press college basketball poll.
The first week of the regular season produced few changes in the Top 25. The Jayhawks are followed Monday by Michigan State, Texas, Kentucky and Villanova in the top five spots from the preseason Top 25.
North Carolina and Purdue are sixth and seventh, while West Virginia, Duke and Tennessee hold on to round out the top 10.
Maryland is the only newcomer to the poll at No. 25. The Terrapins move into the rankings for the first time since the final poll of the 2006-07 season. They replace Mississippi State, which falls out from 18th following its season-opening 88-74 loss to Rider.
The top 25 teams in The Associated Press' college basketball poll, with first-place votes in parentheses, records through Nov. 15, total points based on 25 points for a first-place vote through one point for a 25th-place vote and preseason ranking:
