Kentucky climbs one spot in new AP poll

Kentucky is now ranked No. 7 overall.

The top six places in the poll remained unchanged, with Tennessee retaining the No. 1 spot for the first time in school history. The Vols received 48 of the 64 first-place votes this week. Duke, Virginia, Gonzaga, Michigan and Michigan State round out the top six teams.

Kentucky traded places with Nevada, which fell from seventh to eighth without losing a game. Nevada lacks a top-25 win and has only one top-50 win, while Kentucky is 4-1 against ranked opponents.

The complete Top 25 will be released soon.
