The AP top 25 college basketball rankings for Week 13 have been released.
Once again, there is a new team at the top of the rankings. For the first time since 1992, the Michigan Wolverines are ranked No. 1. The Wolverines made a Final Four run that year, however the wins were vacated due to NCAA violations.
Former No. 1 Duke fell to No. 5. Indiana and Florida both made big jumps, four spots each, to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. No. 2 Kansas moved up one spot.

Virginia Commonwealth and Notre Dame both dropped out of the poll; No. 25 Marquette and No. 22 San Diego State replaced the two fallen teams in the top 25.
