Florida, which finished an unbeaten season in the Southeastern Conference, and Wichita State, which completed an undefeated regular season and won its conference tournament, are the top two teams in The Associated Press poll for the third straight week.

The Gators (29-2), who received 50 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday, open play in the SEC tournament Friday. The Shockers (34-0) got the 15 other No. 1 votes. They won the Missouri Valley Conference tournament Sunday and will be the first team to enter the NCAA tournament without a loss since UNLV in 1991.

Villanova moved from sixth to third, while Arizona dropped one spot to fourth. Louisville jumped from 11th to fifth, followed by Virginia and Duke. San Diego State and Michigan tied for eighth, and Kansas was 10th.

The No. 3 ranking for Villanova, which won the outright Big East regular-season title for the first time since 1981-82, is the Wildcats' highest since they were No. 2 in January 2009.

Kentucky, which has lost three of four, dropped out from 25th, the fourth preseason No. 1 to fall out of the poll in the same season. If the Wildcats can't get back into next week's final pre-tournament poll, they will be the first team since UCLA in 1965-66 to be preseason No. 1 and finish unranked (AP only ranked 10 teams back then), according to ESPN Stats & Info.
