The Missouri Tigers took care of business last week, beating both Iowa State and Texas in Big 12 conference play, and that was enough to help the team move up in the AP Poll as several other top 10 teams faltered. While Syracuse retained the top spot and remains undefeated on the season, Ohio State, North Carolina, Indiana and Michigan State each suffered a defeat last week.
Baylor leads the way for the Big 12 at No. 3, the rival Kansas Jayhawks are No. 7 this week and Kansas State is No. 25.
