The Gonzaga Bulldogs rose three spots in the latest AP Poll to No. 13 and by proxy are the best team in the nation since they have defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Tide rolled their way to No. 1 following a very convincing in over Florida and a not-as-convincing win over Auburn. The state was set for the Crimson Tide to move up thanks to Purdue’s second loss in three games. The Boilermakers fell, 64-58, to Northwestern on Sunday. For it all, they dropped down to No. 3 but still retained two first-place votes.
