Hanging out in the top 10 for much of the nonconference slate, Florida Gators basketball fell completely out of the AP Top 25 earlier this season after dropping four games in a five-game span crossing from late November until early December. It then jumped back into the poll briefly after beating Kentucky in January only to see itself fall out of the rankings once again soon after.

However, after three straight Quadrant 1 victories over Auburn, Alabama and ranked Kentucky, Florida is back among the top 25 teams in the nation with the Gators literally taking the Wildcats’ No. 23 ranking they held a week ago.

Here’s the updated poll entering conference championship week.

1. Virginia (65)
2. Villanova
3. Xavier
4. Michigan State
5. Duke
6. Gonzaga
7. Michigan
8. Cincinnati
9. Kansas
10. Purdue
11. Wichita State
12. North Carolina
