    For the second time in school history, Auburn sits as the No. 1 team in the country. The Tigers previously held the No. 1 spot for three consecutive weeks in 2022. 

    Another SEC team — Georgia — sees itself in the AP poll for the first time since 2012 after double-digit wins over Kentucky and Oklahoma, both who were ranked last week. 

    The SEC overall dominates the poll once again with the five top-10 teams (Auburn, No. 4 Alabama, No. 5 Florida, No. 6 Tennessee, No. 8 Kentucky). It also has nine teams ranked overall, most of any league. The Big 10 comes in second with six, followed by the Big 12 with four.

    The full poll is as follows: 

    1. Auburn
    2. Iowa State
    3. Duke
    4. Alabama
    5. Florida
    6. Tennessee
    7. Marquette
    8. Kentucky
    9. Kansas
    10. Houston 
    11. Texas A&M
    12. Michigan State
    13. Oregon
    14. UConn
    15. Mississippi State
    16. Gonzaga
    17. Purdue
    18. Memphis
    19. Illinois
    20. Michigan
    21. Ole Miss
    22. Utah State
    23. Georgia
    24. Wisconsin
    25. Baylor
    Some of the biggest fallers include Illinois (down six spots) and Tennessee and UConn (both down five spots). Michigan State and Michigan are both up four spots and lead the Big 10 conference standings.
