The Tennessee Volunteers have won 12 consecutive games since losing to the then-No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks back in November, and that winning streak - plus a number of big upsets - was enough to catapult them to No. 1 in this week's AP Top 25 Poll.
- After the unranked Syracuse Orange upset the previously top-ranked Duke Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Tennessee Volunteers vaulted from No. 3 in last week's AP Top 25 Poll to sit atop the college basketball throne.
- The last two undefeated teams in the nation, the Virginia Cavaliers and Michigan Wolverines, both lost their first games of the season to Duke and the unranked Wisconsin Badgers, respectively.
- The ACC and the SEC lead all conferences with six teams apiece in the rankings, followed closely by the Big 10 with four and the Big 12 with three. The Pac-12, meanwhile, has no representation in the AP Top 25 Poll for the fourth consecutive week.
- Here are the five biggest winners and losers of Week 12 of the college basketball season.
