Auburn survived a challenge from Tennessee and the Tigers remain the No. 1 team in the USA TODAY Sports men's basketball poll followed by Duke.

Top-ranked Auburn has two road games this week. The Tigers will be favored in both but could theoretically lose either. So, with this in mind, I asked Kyle Boone a question on Sunday's episode of the Eye On College Basketball Podcast.

Texas Tech made its Top 25 season debut at No. 22 after beating Cincinnati and Oklahoma State to run its Big 12 winning streak to four games. Vanderbilt entered the poll at No. 24 for the first time since Dec. 7, 2015, as the women's team also cracked the poll this week for the first time since 2014.

Johni Broome is back, and Auburn is still on top of the SEC. The Tigers picked up their 11th straight win on Saturday night when they beat Tennessee 53-51.

Tennessee basketball spent five weeks ranked No. 1 before falling in the polls in recent weeks following its first three losses.
