The NCAA rankings are out for the week and after their blowout win last night, the Alabama Crimson Tide remain as the top team in the land. Unlike last week though, this time around it’s not unanimous as the Florida Gators picked up one first place vote in the AP Poll.
The Crimson Tide are followed by the Oregon Ducks, Gators, Kansas State Wildcats and Notre Dame Fighting Irish in both polls.
With the Cincinnati Bearcats being upset by Toledo on Saturday night, the Big East has just two teams in both polls. They are the Louisville Cardinals (16/14) and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (18/15).
The Bearcats are the only Big East team among the others receiving votes.
