College basketball rankings: Kentucky still No. 1, North Carolina cracks top 5

A week after dismantling Kansas in the Champions Classic, Kentucky earned all but three No. 1 votes from the Associated Press

After an impressive 72-40 shellacking of Kansas in the Champions Classic, top-ranked Kentucky earned 62 of the possible 65 first-place votes in the new Associated Press Top 25 poll, 13 more than last week. The 5-0 Wildcats have won their five games by an average of just under 30 points.

The Jayhawks, in turn, fell out of the top five and dropped all the way down to No. 11. Unbeaten North Carolina took Kansas' spot, joining UK, Arizona, Wisconsin and Duke in the top five.
