The latest college basketball rankings has been released and Villanova moved around in both polls. The Wildcats rose 3 spots to #8 in the AP poll, but dropped one spot in the Coaches' poll. It was a crazy week in college basketball with previous #1 North Carolina going down to Northern Iowa. That, among some other high-profile losses, created some serious movement.
After a rough loss to Miami (FL), Butler dropped from the polls. Xavier took their place in the AP poll (but wasn't ranked by the Coaches) after an impressive road win at Michigan.
Carry on with your hot takes!
