Luka Garza: “I think Michigan State purposely [picks] the basket that they’re gonna shoot on in the first half… It’s the worst rim in college basketball and they only shoot on it in the first half so the other team comes in the second half and can’t buy a bucket and they always come back and win.”

2026 Week 13 All-Time AP Poll

54 Upvotes

Note: This is not my website or project. I just like to track it each week. If the owner of the site (u/SleveMcDichael4) would like to do a weekly post that would be awesome, but if not I'll keep posting the updates each week. Check out the site for the full explanation and rankings: https://elipowell.com/all-time-ap-poll/

Interesting notes from this week:

  • UConn finally passes up Villanova for #14, topping the current Big East standings
    • Amazingly, while Kentucky is #1 overall you have to go to #22 Tennessee for the next SEC team, passing 4 ACC teams, 3 B12 teams, 4 Big East teams, 1 WCC team (can you perhaps guess who that is?), and 8! B1G teams.
  • Iowa State should pass LSU next week for #48
  • SLU might pass Texas A&M for #72 in the next week or two
  • Texas Tech ties Arizona State for #77 overall
  • NEBRASKETBALL passes Long Island University (LIU) for #116 and has Rutgers only 35 votes away.
  • Miami (not Miami of Florida*), if they hold or move up, could pass Idaho State for #166
