After reaching No. 1 in the men's AP college basketball poll for the first time in program history last week, Auburn remains atop the rankings after pushing its record to 20–1.
The Tigers avoided a short stay at the top by escaping Missouri on the road and then cruising past Oklahoma in Saturday's Big 12/SEC Challenge.
The week's headline results, however, came from No. 3 UCLA and No. 5 Kentucky. The Bruins dispatched Arizona in a top-10 clash to rise four spots in the poll, while UK dealt Kansas a rare blowout at Allen Fieldhouse to jump seven spots and enter the top five.
