Miami managed to hang on to a spot in the rankings, dropping eight places after losing for the first time this season. The top six schools by appearances in the AP men’s college basketball poll are Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, UCLA and Louisville. Missouri lost to LSU and also slipped out after two weeks ranked. For the first time since 2005-06, the Trojans and Fighting Irish are playing with both teams ranked in consecutive seasons. For the first time since 2001, both teams are ranked, and it's the second straight home game for the Beavers hosting a ranked opponent.
