Syracuse received all 65 first-place votes from the AP voters and all 32 first-place votes from the coaches.

The Florida Gators (21-2, 10-0 SEC) – fresh off a 68-58 home win over Missouri on Tuesday and a hard-fought 78-69 win against Alabama at home on Saturday – stayed put at No. 3 in the AP top 25 and No. 4 in the USA Today rankings.
