The Texas Longhorns are the number 1 team in the land this week after all. The football team came up short, but thanks to a [tag]Kansas[/tag] upset loss the men’s basketball team is now the top ranked team in both the AP Top 25 and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. This is the first time in Texas history to hold the number 1 ranking.
Head coach [tag]Rick Barnes[/tag] felt the ranking was a compliment to the program and all the effort each of the players puts in every week. Of course, unlike football college basketball has a playoff and as Barnes put it, “I can’t honestly tell you who the No. 1 team was in the country on the second week of January last year, but I do know who won the national championship.”
Here’s this week’s top 5 college basketball teams:
| AP Poll | Coaches Poll | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Texas (56) | Texas (30) | |
| 2 | Kentucky (9) | Kentucky (1) | |
| 3 | Kansas | Kansas | |
| 4 | Villanova | Villanova | |
| 5 | Syracuse | Syracuse |
