Mon Jan 27 18:30:00 UTC 2025: ## College Basketball Shakeup Expected in AP Top 25 Poll

**[City, State] –** The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is set for a major shakeup on Monday following a weekend of upsets. Fourteen ranked teams suffered losses, nine of them to unranked opponents, leaving voters with difficult ranking decisions.

Houston is poised for a significant rise after a double-overtime victory over No. 2 Kansas, extending their winning streak to 12 games and improving their Big 12 record to 8-0. Similarly, Michigan State, also boasting a 12-game winning streak and an 8-0 Big Ten record after defeating Rutgers, is expected to climb the rankings for a fourth consecutive week.

The biggest challenge for AP voters lies in re-ranking teams currently positioned between No. 11 and No. 19, as every team in that range experienced at least one loss this past week. Teams like UConn, Kansas, Purdue, and Texas A&M are all expected to see shifts in their rankings. Early projections suggest UConn and West Virginia could even drop out of the Top 25 entirely. The revised rankings will be released on Monday.
