The sixth in-season edition of the men's AP Top 25 poll features little movement.

Arizona retains its No. 1 position, with no changes in the top 10 other than Gonzaga and Houston swapping the No. 7 and 8 spots.

And after three new entrants in last week's poll, only one new team cracks this week's top 25, with Georgia bumping UCLA.

Let's run through statistical highlights and the next game for each of the top 25 teams.

All times Eastern. All stats courtesy of ESPN Research unless otherwise noted.

Previous polls: Preseason | Week 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

1. Arizona Wildcats

Previous ranking: 1

2025-26 record: 9-0
