Men's College basketball Power Rankings: Purdue and Zach Edey dominate, North Carolina drops out
But when it comes to a combination of eye test and headline wins, it's really hard to top Purdue right now. The Boilermakers blew out both Gonzaga and Duke, and they also have victories over West Virginia and Marquette.
Top-5
No.1: Purdue (6-0)
No.2: Houston (6-0)
No.3: Arizona (6-0)
No.4: Texas (5-0)
No.5: Virginia (5-0)

Which brings us to the debate for No. 1 this week. We had already moved Houston past North Carolina, so the Tar Heels' losses at the Phil Knight Invitational weren't much of a factor in the discussion.

Virginia Tech hands No.18 North Carolina 4th straight loss
Mutts scored 21 of his points in the second half for the Hokies (8-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who built an 18-point second-half lead and then held on to hand the slumping Tar Heels (5-4, 0-1) their fourth consecutive defeat.

Is it time to panic about former No. 1 North Carolina?
North Carolina had a 15-point lead entering halftime of last season's NCAA championship game against Kansas. The Tar Heels would eventually lose that matchup, but they entered the 2022-23 season as the No. 1 team in America and the national title favorite. Hubert Davis had, after all, returned key players from that Final Four squad and added Northwestern transfer Pete Nance to replace Brady Manek. But November wasn't kind to the Tar Heels, who lost their third consecutive game Wednesday all to ranked opponents. November wasn't kind to the Tar Heels, who lost their third consecutive game Wednesday -all to ranked opponents. First things first: No one should be surprised North Carolina isn't the best team in the country. The Tar Heels were always a candidate to slide from the No. 1 ranking -- in part because they had only one way to go, and in larger part because they are simply the latest example of a team evaluated more by what happened in March than by the four months preceding it.

Houston, Texas top men's hoops poll; preseason No. 1 UNC out
Houston and Texas remain firmly entrenched atop the Associated Press men's college basketball poll, while preseason No. 1 North Carolina has dropped out entirely after a fourth straight loss. North Carolina is only the sixth team to go from preseason No. 1 to unranked since at least the 1961-62 season, most recently with Michigan State during the 2019-20 season. Of that group, the Tar Heels had the swiftest exit from the poll to start the season (four weeks) except for UCLA in 1965-66. The Bruins fell out of the poll after just three weeks back when only 10 teams were ranked. Last year's Tar Heels were on the bubble to even make the NCAA tournament well into February in Davis' debut season. They went on a final-month tear all the way to the NCAA championship game before falling to Kansas.

The revelations inside Hubert Davis' North Carolina office
In his first season as head coach, following nine seasons as an assistant under Roy Williams, Davis led the Tar Heels from the bubble to a national championship appearance. The run surprised everyone except Davis, who had taken a page out of the book of Smith and taped a photo of the New Orleans Superdome, the site of the 2022 Final Four, inside the players' lockers before their very first practice in September. This year, however, has been a different story for Davis and the Tar Heels, who suffered four tough losses in a row bridging November and December and dropped entirely out of the AP rankings after starting the season at No. 1. Victories over Georgia Tech, The Citadel and Ohio State have put some wind back in the sails of the team, but some critics are speculating if a sophomore slump is taking place for Davis, or even if he was the right person to succeed Williams in the first place.
