It was another week when the No. 1 team in the AP poll went down, with Alabama going to Houston and knocking off the Cougars with a late surge on Saturday. Much like when North Carolina took its first loss, however, last week's Power Rankings hadn't had Houston at No. 1. Purdue had passed the Cougars after the Boilermakers' huge Thanksgiving weekend out in Portland, Oregon.
And we once again have a new No. 1 team this week.
No one has been more consistently dominant through the first month of the 2022-23 men's college basketball season than the UConn Huskies.
