AP Poll Shocker: Unexpected Shifts That Could Rewrite the Season’s Final Standings

Let’s take a look at the complete AP poll of Week 18:

Notes:

Miami-OH drained a last-second shot at Western Michigan to reach 29-0 and enter the regular season’s final week still unblemished. They just need to win their home finale against 16-13 Toledo and a road trip to 15-14 Ohio, and they’ll complete one of the few and far between undefeated regular seasons in college basketball history.
Tennessee and Vanderbilt both stayed in the poll despite taking losses on Saturday. They’ll face each other Saturday for their season finales in Knoxville.
Purdue dropped seven spots after an 0-2 week. After losing by two at home to Michigan State, they went to Columbus and fell to the Buckeyes 82-74.
Since losing superstar J.T Toppin to an ACL tear against Arizona State, Texas Tech has gone 3-0 with 28, 12, and nine-point wins, with the last of those coming at then-#4 Iowa State. They’ll finish their season with TCU and BYU as they fight Houston for 2nd place in the Big 12 standings.
Nebraska and Michigan State have been in the shadow of Michigan’s dominance, but the Cornhuskers are 25-4 and the Spartans are 24-5 with both teams being tied for 2nd in the Big Ten standings and contenders for an NCAA Tournament 2-seed.
Gonzaga took a loss in its last regular-season WCC game ever: a trip to Saint Mary’s, which gave the Gaels a share of the WCC title as well in what might have also been the Zags’ last trip ever to the University Credit Union Pavilion.
