Last week's AP Top 25 shakeup vaulted Virginia into the No. 1 spot for the first time since 1982, and the Cavaliers held steady atop this week's poll with 42 of 65 first-place votes. Madness inside the top 10 this past week however produced a scramble beneath them with a brand new order from 5-10.

 

Altogether, the top 10 teams last week stumbled to a combined 10-9 overall -- headlined by an 0-2 week for both Cincinnati and Ohio State and a 1-1 week for Villanova, Xavier, Texas Tech and Purdue, giving us a new top 10 that includes appearances by North Carolina, Kansas and Duke.

 

Michigan State, which mounted an historic comeback on Saturday to stun Northwestern, remained at No. 2 in this week's poll and Villanova and Xavier kept its spots at 3 and 4. The Spartans garnered 19 first-place votes behind Virginia. Villanova received four first-place votes.

 

Michigan State held strong at the top spot in the new USA Today Coaches Poll, as Virginia and Villanova swapped Nos. 2 and 3 and Duke made a charge into the top five following two impressive wins without star freshman Marvin Bagley. 

 

The biggest changes in the poll came in the American Athletic Conference, where Houston made the biggest move up (seven spots) to No. 23 and Cincinnati had the biggest fall (six spots) to No. 11. North Carolina and Wichita State each moved up six spots (to No. 10 and No. 12, respectively) and Ohio State fell out of the top 10 following back-to-back losses to Penn State and Michigan.
