The college basketball is in full swing and we are starting to get a good look at how programs across the country stack up against each other. On Monday, the Associated Press announced its latest rankings of the 2021-22 season with the Week 11 AP Top 25 poll.
As we hit the midway point of January, the Gonzaga Bulldogs have returned to the No. 1 spot.
Auburn jumped two spots to No. 2, Arizona moved up three spots to No. 3, Purdue jumped three to No. 4, and Baylor fell from No. 1 to round out the top five after a whirlwind of a week.

About the Associated Press Top 25 Poll
The Associated Press college basketball poll started on Jan. 20, 1949. The original poll had 20 teams, with Saint Louis the first school to hold the No. 1 ranking. From the 1961-62 season through 1967-68 only 10 teams were ranked. It expanded again to 20 teams from 1968-69 through 1988-89. The Top 25 began the next season, and it has stayed at that number ever since. The AP’s final poll is released after the field for the NCAA Tournament is selected.
