NCAA basketball rankings 2015: Old Dominion makes first top 25 appearance in school history

While nothing changed at the top of this week's Associated Press Top 25 poll, the team at the very bottom of the rankings made history with its appearance.

For the second consecutive week, a top five of Kentucky, Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin and Louisville headline the Associated Press Top 25 poll. The Wildcats were once again a unanimous choice by the AP for the top spot.

Perhaps the more intriguing story is at the bottom of the poll, where Old Dominion sits at No. 25, marking the first AP Top 25 appearance in the history of the program. The Monarchs are 12-1 with wins over the likes of VCU, LSU and Georgia State.
