The men’s college basketball season is just getting started. But there were a few high-profile matchups during the first week of the campaign that caused significant changes in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
Kansas retains the top spot after staving off North Carolina at home in one of the week’s marquee contests. The Jayhawks received 21 of 31 first-place votes, while the Tar Heels were demoted just one position to No. 11. Alabama remains No. 2 overall, claiming four No. 1 nods after a 2-0 start. Two-time defending champ Connecticut also holds at No. 3 with three first-place votes.
The week’s big mover is Auburn. The Tigers vault from No. 11 all the way to No. 4 after Saturday night’s road win at Houston. Auburn was picked first by two panelists, while the Cougars slip to No. 10. Gonzaga moves up a couple of places to round out the top five, claiming the last No. 1 vote and edging ahead of No. 6 Duke. Iowa State and Arizona hold down the next two spots, and Tennessee climbs into the top 10 at No. 9.
