Texas’ win at UCLA caused the first change this season in the top five teams in The Associated Press’ college basketball poll.
North Carolina was No. 1 Monday, as it has been since the preseason poll, but Memphis and Kansas both moved up one spot to second and third, while Texas used its win over UCLA to vault from eighth to fourth.
Georgetown remained fifth, Duke moved up one spot to sixth and UCLA dropped five places after the 63-61 home loss to the Longhorns on Sunday.
The Tar Heels (7-0), who won road games against Ohio State and Kentucky last week, received 45 first-place votes and 1,769 points from the 72-member national media panel.
Memphis (6-0), which beat Austin Peay in its only game last week, was No. 1 on 22 ballots and had 1,717 points.
