The Carleton Ravens, four-time defending national champions, have been knocked out of the No. 1 perch in the CIS men's basketball poll.

After being ranked No. 2 for 17 straight CIS Top 10 polls, the Ottawa Gee-Gees are ranked first after knocking off the Ravens 68-66 Saturday, leaving the garnet and grey as the country's lone undefeated team.

Although the Gee-Gees had the No. 1 seed at last year's CIS Final 8 tournament, this week marks the first time in program history that the squad has topped the weekly rankings poll.

In addition to the 17 weeks spent at No. 2, the Gee-Gees were previously ranked No. 3 for four consecutive polls, totalling 22 weeks in the CIS top three dating back to February of 2013.
