Men's College Basketball Power Rankings: Arizona rides hot start to No. 1

It's hard to move a No. 1 team down if it doesn't lose -- especially when that No. 1 team just went on the road and knocked off another top-five or top-six team. It takes, frankly, a special résumé.

But that's what Arizona has accomplished through the first five games of its season, following Wednesday's true road win over UConn. Tommy Lloyd's team now has wins over Florida, UCLA and UConn, all away from home. According to ESPN Research, the Wildcats are just the third team in AP Poll history to have multiple wins over top-three opponents in their first five games of the season -- and the first since Kansas did it in the 1989-90 season.
