Chris Murray, a columnist for Nevada Sports Net, recently revealed his final ballot for the college basketball AP Top 25 poll. With Florida taking the top spot and earning a promotion from number three, Houston and Duke settled for second and third place respectively. Auburn and Michigan State rounded out the top five.
In his ranking, Murray highlighted the impressive performance of BYU, moving them up to 11th place from 17th previously. St. John’s, on the other hand, dropped from fifth to 12th in his ballot.
