Wisconsin rode a slew of losses by top-10 teams, and wins over Minnesota and Michigan State, to climb seven spots to No.
Wisconsin moved up seven spots, New Mexico moved up six and Duke, Marquette and Texas Tech all advanced five spots.
Their gain came in part at the expense of Oklahoma, which tumbled 12 spots to No.
CONFERENCE WATCHThe Big East, Big Ten, ACC, Big 12 and SEC each have a top-five team — in fact, each had two in the top 10.
But the Big 12 still leads the overall Top 25 count with eight ranked teams after the Horned Frogs returned to the poll this week.
