Kansas Jayhawks remain No. 1 in the AP Top 25 rankings this week. Here’s the full poll

Kansas maintained its grip on the No. 1 ranking in The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll, while fourth-ranked Florida State has its highest ranking in nearly five decades.

The Jayhawks received all 65 first-place votes to remain at the top for a third straight week and fourth overall this season, with the past two weeks coming as the unanimous choice ahead of Gonzaga and Dayton.

The Big 12 and other major-conference tournaments begin this week.

The Seminoles rose three spots after wrapping up the first ACC regular-season title in program history. That moved FSU to its highest ranking since No. 2 in December 1972.

Baylor slid to fifth and San Diego State sixth behind FSU, while Creighton jumped four spots to No. 7 ahead of Kentucky. Michigan State climbed seven spots to ninth, rejoining the top 10 for the first time since early January after going from preseason No. 1 to unranked.

Duke, one of a record-tying seven teams to spend time at No. 1 this season, rounded out the top 10.
