CBS Sports Top 25 and 1 gets shaken up after wild Tuesday
Following a wild night of marquee games on Tuesday, CBS Sports college basketball insider Gary Parrish released his updated Top 25 and 1 once again. See how college basketball’s best teams stack up as conference play hits full speed.
Among the biggest games on Tuesday’s slate, Auburn’s 12th straight win came over in-state rival and NCAA Tournament team Alabama and helped push the Tigers to the top with a Baylor loss. Texas Tech became the first team to knock off the Bears in quite a while and bolstered their Big 12 resume. Another undefeated team fell victim when USC lost on the road against Stanford and a pair of short-lived top 25 and 1 appearances ended with a loss.
The Big 12 lead the way in representation in the CBS Sports Top 25 and 1 with six teams on Tuesday, followed by the Big Ten with five, then the SEC and Big East with four. The Pac-12 has just three teams represented, but all three ranks inside the top 15, while the ACC has only one teams listed now.
