Baylor’s trip to the top is likely one and done.
The Bears lost in their first game as the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 , clearing the way for the Kansas Jayhawks to possibly soar to the top of Monday’s poll.
Kansas (16-1, 5-0 Big 12) moved up a spot to No. 2 in last week’s poll and won both of its games this week by sweeping both Oklahoma schools. Combined with Baylor’s blowout loss to No. 10 West Virginia, the Jayhawks will have a good shot to be No. 1 for the first time this season.
“I don’t know what’ll happen, if we’ll be 1, if Villanova will jump us or whatever,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “It’s really not a big deal. I’d much rather be 5-0 in the league than be No. 1. At least we have that.”
Kansas has a solid resume.
