The college basketball coaches poll remains stubborn. For the second straight week, we had chaos in the top 10. Six top-10 teams lost on the same day. Yet the polls still have not brought in any new members. The biggest jump this week is for Oregon, which is up seven spots after sweeping Arizona and Arizona State.

Kentucky was one of three teams falling six spots. The Wildcats dropped from from No. 6 to No. 12 after losing to Florida 88-66. Butler, which lost at home to Creighton in its only game of the week, dropped from 15th to 21st. Notre Dame slipped from No. 18 to No. 24 after losing to Duke and North Carolina and is on a four-game losing streak.

Here's the coaches poll in full, with a league-by-league tally below:
