\"\"Gonzaga is No. 1 for the third straight week in The Associated Press college basketball poll.<\/p>\n

The Zags (26-0), the lone unbeaten team in Division I, received 60 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel on Monday.<\/p>\n

Villanova (24-2), which received the other five first-place votes, and Kansas held second and third, while Baylor moved from sixth to fourth.<\/p>\n

The top four teams match those announced Saturday as the preliminary No. 1 seeds by the NCAA Tournament selection committee, although its order was Villanova, Kansas, Baylor and Gonzaga.<\/p>\n

Arizona jumped from ninth to fifth and was followed by fellow Pac-12 members UCLA and Oregon, while Louisville, West Virginia and North Carolina round out the top 10.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame returns to the poll at No. 25 after being out for one week. The Fighting Irish replace Xavier.<\/p>\n
