The seventh in-season edition of the men's AP Top 25 poll features a notable change at the top.

While Arizona and Michigan retain their positions at No. 1 and 2, respectively, Duke falls from No. 3 to No. 6 after suffering its first loss of the season on Saturday: a 17-point, second-half comeback by Texas Tech. Iowa State, UConn and Purdue each move up a spot as a result, though the top 10 otherwise remains the same week-over-week.

Further down the board, St. John's and Auburn fall out, while USC and Iowa join the mix.

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