The sixth regular season editions of the Associated Press Top 25 and USA Today Coaches’ Poll were released on Monday with the Arizona Wildcats staying put as the No. 1-ranked team in the country. Arizona received 63-of-65 first-place votes from the AP voters and 30-of-32 first-place votes from the coaches.

The Florida Gators (7-2), fresh off an impressive 67-61 victory over then-No. 13 Kansas (6-3) on Tuesday in Gainesville, FL, jumped up three spots to No. 16 in the AP top 25 and two places to No. 17 in the USA Today rankings.

Florida checked in with 699 points (+265) in the AP poll and 296 points (+38) in the USA Today top 25.

The Gators will square off against the last of the four top-25 teams it was scheduled to face in non-conference action on Tuesday.
