Michigan State is No. 1 in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll for the first time since early in the 2013-14 season.
The Spartans (9-0) jumped from third to a runaway first following last week's losses by then-Nos. 1 and 2 Kentucky and Maryland.
Kansas (6-1), which had one first-place vote, moved from fourth to second, while North Carolina, the preseason No. 1, jumped from ninth to third.
