The 14th editions of the 2011-12 regular season USA Today/ESPN and Associated Press Top 25 Polls were released on Monday, and the Kentucky Wildcats (23-1, 9-0 SEC) held on to the No. 1 spot in both rankings, receiving the vast majority of votes as the top team in the country.
The Florida Gators fell in the rankings after reentering the top 10 one week ago for the first time since Dec. 26, 2011. Florida dropped to No. 12 and No. 14 in the respective polls on the heels of consecutive losses to Kentucky (78-58) on the road Tuesday evening and Tennessee (75-70) at home on Saturday afternoon. The Gators are one of three/two Southeastern Conference teams listed in the rankings.
