College Basketball Week 11 AP Top 25: Gonzaga Back on Top, Auburn No. 2

The Associated Press released its week 11 men's basketball Top 25 poll on Monday and once again, there was quite a bit of reshuffling at the top of the rankings.

After beginning the season 15-0 and holding the No. 1 ranking for five straight weeks, Baylor suffered back-to-back home losses to Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. The Bears were one of four top five teams to suffer a loss last week. As a result, Gonzaga is back on top at No. 1 and 16-1 Auburn is right on the heels of the Bulldogs at No. 2. Arizona, Purdue, and Baylor round out the top five.

UCLA fell six spots to No. 9 after losing at home to Oregon, who also beat USC on its home floor, causing the Trojans to fall 11 spots to No. 16.

Biggest movers: No. 5 Baylor (down four), No. 8 Wisconsin (up five), No. 9 UCLA (down six), No. 12 Kentucky (up six), No. 16 USC (down eleven), No. 17 Illinois (up eight)

Newcomers: No. 22 Loyola Chicago, No. 25 UConn

Dropped out: Seton Hall, Alabama
