A winless week dropped Baylor five spots and helped Arizona move up a rung to No. 4 in the latest installment of the AP Poll.

The Bears, who were No. 4 a week ago, are now the nation's No. 9. Gonzaga, Villanova, and Kansas continue to hold down the top three spots, with Arizona and UCLA rounding out the top five.

The rest of the rankings feature minimal change, though Wichita State managed to shake up the bottom of the list by translating a 10-game winning streak into the 25th spot.
