AP men's college basketball poll reaction: What's next for each Top 25 team?

The latest AP men's college basketball poll has arrived with some of the country's top programs flexing their muscles.

Tennessee claimed the No. 1 spot last week for the first time since February 2019 and held serve with consecutive wins. The Volunteers are 10-0 to begin a season for the fifth time in program history. Auburn, Iowa State, Duke and Kentucky were among a group of teams in the top-10 to leave Week 5 with a victory. The same can't be said for Marquette and Gonzaga, the latter of which is in the midst of a rare losing streak.

That saw a few new sides shifting inside the top-10. Kansas dropped two straight games but bounced back with a win. Two weeks ago, Oregon was unranked, yet it now has an inside track on the top-five.

Here's a look at the Week 6 poll for the 2024-25 season.
