After suffering its first loss of the season to Butler over the weekend, Villanova has lost its spot atop the AP poll after a three week run. The Wildcats didn’t fall far though, as they now rank #3 in the country behind fellow one loss teams Michigan State and Duke. Villanova retained one of its first place votes (shout out to Paul Klee), and is still ranked in the Top 5 by most of the AP voters.
The Big East now has two teams in the Top 5 with #5 Xavier moving up a spot, and three teams in the Top 25 with Seton Hall moving up to #21.
