Rarely does the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 poll lose its spot atop the rankings despite not losing, but that could happen for a second consecutive week entering Week 3 of the young season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In fact, I’m predicting exactly that come Monday.<\/p>\n
In the latest Tomorrow’s Top 25 today, wherein I predict how AP voters will cast their ballots for the upcoming rankings release, my projection is Purdue<\/a> reclaims the No. 1 spot from Houston<\/a> after a statement road win over top-10 Alabama<\/a> this week. The shakeup would be the third change at No. 1 in as many rankings updates including the preseason, giving the preseason No. 1 Boilermakers a bump back up one spot.<\/p>\n Houston won’t fall far this week, though, just like Purdue didn’t fall far last week. My projection below of the full top 25 has the Cougars dropping to No. 2 and the trio of UConn<\/a>, Duke<\/a> and Arizona<\/a> — in that order — rounding out the new top five.<\/p>\n Below is how I expect the AP Top 25 poll to shake out Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CBS Sports Graphic Rarely does the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 poll lose its
