The latest NCAA basketball rankings are out, and Virginia’s dominance over Virginia Tech last Wednesday was not enough to overcome a road loss to an unranked but rising Syracuse team.
AP Poll
A tumultuous weekend for the AP Top 10, as No. 2 Baylor, No. 3 Kansas, No. 5 Arizona, No. 7 West Virginia, No. 8 Kentucky and No. 9 Virginia all took a hit last week. Of the teams, Kansas remained unchanged (having beaten Baylor), and Virginia incurred the least damage, falling only three spots in the polls. Syracuse, despite rattling off four straight and now standing at 7-4 in the ACC, is still not receiving votes.
