The sixth season of the AP Men's Top 25 poll is not particularly dynamic.
Arizona maintains its No. 1 position, with no changes to the top 10 except for Gonzaga and Houston swapping No. 7 and 8 spots.
And after three new entrants to last week's poll, only one new team made the top 25 this week: Georgia passed UCLA.
Let's run through the stats and next game for each of the top 25 teams.
All times Eastern. All statistics provided by ESPN Research unless otherwise noted.
