Tennessee obvious No. 1 in men's college basketball polls
It's no surprise that in both the just released AP and the ESPN/USA Today polls that Tennessee went to the head of the class after beating previously undefeated Memphis on Saturday. Memphis had been No. 1 since North Carolina was knocked off that perch by Maryland over a month ago.
In the AP, Memphis went to No. 2, and in the ESPN/USA Today poll to No. 3. North Carolina, whose only two losses are to Duke and the Terrapins, reverses spots with Memphis in the two polls.
UCLA and Texas are fourth and fifth respectively in both polls. A fistful of top-ranked teams lost over the weekend, including Kansas, Butler and Connecticut, causing all of them to skid but not out of the top 20. Duke, although it suffered its second straight ACC loss last week, is still in the Top 10 in both polls and is the only ACC team other than the Tar Heels in the Top 25. Here are the polls.

That sure didnt last long. In college football, it was the kiss of death to be #2 in the polls. Now, it looks like you dont want to be #1.
