AP Top 25 College Basketball Rankings Prediction for Week 9

Don't expect any major movement in the latest men's basketball AP Top 25 poll.

Will Auburn finally move back up to 1 and push out Tennessee? Nah - the Tigers didn't play this week and Tennessee won a scrimmage against Middle Tennessee.

San Diego State lost to Utah State and should drop from 20 to, most likely, out. Gonzaga will fall after losing to UCLA, and if the pollsters get this right, Memphis should fly up a bit and Ole Miss should drop.

Other than that, tune in next week when conference matchups kick in full force. After that, these rankings will be a blast.
