Auburn vaulted into the top 5 of the Associated Press Top 25 rankings released Monday while Kansas remained No. 1 after its win over North Carolina one week into the 2024-25 season.

Five teams earned first-place votes — including the Tigers — with the Jayhawks (2-0) leading the way with 44.

Alabama (2-0) remained No. 2 followed by UConn (2-0), Gonzaga (2-0) and the Tigers (2-0), who overcame an altercation on the team plane to win at Houston over the weekend. UConn got seven first-place votes compared to six for Alabama, three for Gonzaga and two for Auburn.

Duke (2-0), Iowa State (1-0), Houston (1-1), Arizona (2-0) and North Carolina (1-1) rounded out the top 10.
