Power Rankings: How far does Tennessee fall after historic loss?

Tuesday night brought the most eye-popping result of the 2024-25 men's basketball season: Florida 73, Tennessee 43. The Volunteers, who entered the game as the only team in the country without a loss, gave up the first 12 points and were essentially never in the game. Florida didn't even play its A-game -- and ran Tennessee out of the building. So what does that mean for these rankings? Auburn was already No. 1, so the top didn't change. It does seem there's a top tier developing, with the Tigers followed by Iowa State and Duke -- none of those three has suffered anything resembling a 30-point loss yet this season and they have consistently looked a cut above over the past month. Tennessee is still 14-1 with road wins at Illinois and Louisville, a neutral-site win over Baylor and a home blowout over Arkansas, so the Volunteers can't drop too far. But that performance against the Gators on Tuesday will be a rough spot on their résumé all season -- and could come up in discussion on Selection Sunday.
