With the third week of the college basketball season in the books, here’s what the AP Top 25 rankings might look like for Week 4.

Non-conference play is usually a time for power conference teams to bolster their record, even sprinkling in some games against fellow power conference foes. Week 3 was en exception to the first part of that as most teams were involved in early-season tournaments such as the Battle 4 Atlantis, Maui Invitational, Phil Knight Invitational and NIT Tipoff.

Some of the top teams in the country were battling it out against each other all week long and one of the best games of the season was already played as Florida took down Gonzaga in overtime, 111-105, in the Phil Knight Invitational.

Other intriguing matchups included North Carolina vs. Michigan State, Duke vs. Florida, Notre Dame vs. Wichita State and Purdue vs. Arizona.

Speaking of the Wildcats and Boilermakers, both lost multiple games in the Battle 4 Atlantis which wasn’t expected beforehand. They were expected to make the title game of the tournament, but Arizona lost three times, including in the consolation bracket against Purdue by 25 points. Not a memorable week for those two programs.

There will be plenty of movement in the Week 4 AP rankings, including at the very top with teams like Arizona and Wichita State.

Here’s a look at what the Week 4 AP Top 25 for college basketball should look like.
