Gonzaga for the first time in program history this month was named the preseason No. 1 team in college basketball. It made more history on Monday, coming in at No. 1 in the Week 2 update of the AP Top 25 poll for the first time. The Zags received 57 first-place votes to edge out Baylor, which received six, with ease.
Gonzaga, Baylor and Iowa were the only mainstays of the top five of the AP poll after a wild opening week that saw previous-No. 3 Villanova and previous-No. 4 Virginia take losses. Iowa jumped two spots to No. 3, while Wisconsin jumped three spots to No. 4. Illinois moved from No. 8 to No. 5.
Rounding out the top 10 this week is Duke, Kansas, Michigan State, Creighton and Houston, setting up a must-watch Champions Classic on Tuesday featuring two top-10 teams in Duke and Michigan State. The second of the event's doubleheader features No. 7 Kansas and No. 20 Kentucky. The Wildcats fell 10 spots after falling to Richmond on Sunday.
