Kansas becomes latest No. 1; Tar Heels fall out
It is Kansas' turn at No. 1 in the Top 25 men's college basketball poll, while another blueblood -- North Carolina -- is out for the first time in nearly six years.
The Jayhawks (9-1) moved up one spot to become the fifth team to top the poll in an already wild season. It is the first time the AP poll has had five different No. 1s before New Year's Day; the record for an entire season is seven, set in 1982-83.
Michigan State, Kentucky, Duke and Louisville have been the other top-ranked teams so far in a year with no dominant team.
