It only took a couple of weeks for there to be some serious shaking in the top 25 polls after a wild weekend of college basketball.
North Carolina's loss to Northern Iowa sent the Tar Heels plummeting out of first place. Neither Kansas or Duke were penalized much for their losses, considering the competition of Michigan State and Kentucky, respectively. When the dust settled, Big Blue Nation is back to its familiar spot in the top of both polls.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs held at No. 10 with a comfortable lead in the AP poll. They moved up one spot to No. 11 in the coaches poll, trailing Arizona by a few votes.
The Washington Huskies are still receiving a few votes this week. After Wednesday, that most likely won't be the case.
