Tennessee made a nice push in the latest AP Top 25, rising into the top 5 and leading 6 teams from the SEC in the latest poll.
The full AP Poll was released on Monday with UConn still leading the country at No. 1 overall. Following Purdue’s upset loss to Ohio State, the Huskies swept all 62 first-place votes with Houston, Purdue and Arizona rounding out the top 4 ahead of Tennessee.
On the negative side of things, South Carolina was the biggest faller of the week. After rising all the way to No. 11, the Gamecocks suffered back-to-back losses to Auburn and LSU. Those defeats dropped South Carolina 9 spots to No. 20 in the AP Poll.
