Kansas is the new No. 1 in both college basketball polls.
The Jayhawks moved up one spot Monday following Ohio State’s first defeat, a loss at Wisconsin. The Buckeyes had been No. 1 for four weeks, the last two as a unanimous choice.
Kansas, ranked No. 1 for 15 weeks last season, received 22 first-place votes in the Associated Press poll from the 65-member national media panel. Ohio State received 14 first-place votes and was 13 points behind. Texas is third, although it has the most first-place votes with 23. Pittsburgh is fourth, voted No. 1 on six ballots.
In the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, KU was No. 1 with 14 first-place votes, followed by Texas with 13 first-place votes.
