NCAA basketball rankings 2015: Kentucky, Virginia, Gonzaga stay on top

February is supposed to be moving month in college basketball, but the teams at the top of the Associated Press Top 25 have been too consistent to let that happen.

Mary Langenfeld-USA TODAY Sports

For the first time since the 1992-93 season, the top seven in the Associated Press Top 25 poll has remained unchanged for six consecutive weeks.

Kentucky received all 65 first-place votes for the fourth straight week, and the Wildcats were once again backed up by Virginia, Gonzaga, Duke, Wisconsin, Villanova and Arizona. Kansas stayed at No. 8 for a fourth straight week, while Notre Dame rose a spot to No. 9. Northern Iowa, which needs a pair of wins this week to capture the Missouri Valley Conference regular season title, entered the top 10 for the first time in program history.

Here’s the complete poll:
