Last week featured quite a few exciting games across college basketball, including matchups between AP-ranked teams. Following all of the action, a new AP Top 25 Poll has been released, with some big changes taking shape.

First, fascinating scores dominated the weekend. Purdue fell to Indiana by a score of 79-74, while Auburn tried for an upset bid of Tennessee, but the Volunteers were able to pull out a three-point victory over their SEC foe.

Additionally, Virginia Tech upset Virginia in a shocking victory, while Oklahoma State was able to rain on TCU‘s parade with a win over the Horned Frogs. The scores will definitely shake up the rankings throughout the college basketball world.

Moreover, reigning champions of the college basketball world Kansas fell to Big 12 foe Iowa State as well, as Jalen Wilson’s 26 points weren’t enough to stave off a 15 point loss to the Cyclones. Elsewhere in the conference, Texas was able to defeat Kansas State by three in a matchup between two squads ranked in the top ten, as Rodney Terry continues to lead the Longhorns to impressive wins.
