College football is slowly coming to a close and week by week, more eyeballs will shift to the basketball court and away from football fields.

The latest AP top 25 poll was released on Monday, Dec. 30. Last week, six Big Ten teams made the top 25. This week, that didn’t change. Where those teams were situated, however, did change:

  1. Gonzaga
  2. Duke
  3. Kansas
  4. Oregon
  5. Ohio State
  6. Baylor
  7. Louisville
  8. Auburn
  9. Memphis
  10. Villanova
  11. Butler
  12. Michigan
  13. San Diego State
  14. Michigan State
  15. Maryland
  16. West Virginia
  17. Kentucky
  18. Florida State
  19. Virginia
  20. Dayton
  21. Penn State
  22. Texas Tech
  23. Iowa
  24. Wichita State
  25. Arizona

Ohio State, Michigan and Maryland each dropped a bit, as did Penn State. Michigan State stayed right at 14, while Iowa moved up two spots when compared to last week.

Big Ten teams have played 13 games to this point and two conference games have taken place. The remainder of the 20-game in-conference schedule will begin as the calendar changes from 2019 to 2020.
