Florida strengthened its hold on the No. 1 spot in the latest Associated Press men's basketball poll released Monday, while Arizona and Michigan saw significant drops after early-season losses.
The Gators opened the season with back-to-back wins, including a 10-point victory over Miami on opening night, to remain the unanimous top choice.
UCLA surged 13 places following its upset win over Arizona, while the defending national champions nearly fell out of the top 25 entirely.
Michigan also tumbled in the rankings after a loss, highlighting the volatility at the top of the poll in the first week of the season.
