Despite picking up their 4th loss of the season, the Villanova Wildcats remain in the AP Poll’s Top 5 this week. Now #4, the Wildcats’ streak of 16 weeks in the Top 5 is more than double the next highest team on that list (Virginia, 7 weeks).
More good news, their streak of weeks in the Top 10 is not only the longest active streak, but it’s now tied for the 20th longest streak in the history of the AP Poll. The Wildcats have been ranked in the Top 10 since January 11th, 2016. No other team has maintained an active Top 10 ranking longer than just this season.
