Villanova 11
Butler 24
Georgetown 33
Xavier 39
Providence 40

think pretty close to what was expected. Maybe Georgetown a smidge low.

For anyone shocked at how low these ranks are- until the Big East actually performs in the NCAA tourney, our ranks are going to be like this.

How a team ends a season absolutely influences how a team is perceived to start the next year. I think that'd be human nature.

true, once again that is not the only criteria for these preseason polls. If that was the case then California wouldn't be on it.

so Duke should be #1 and X 16th? Frankly, The whole idea is comical to me with zero games played, but guess they have to throw something out there.

You said originally that is the only criteria the AP looks at with these polls...

I think recruiting/transfers have a lot to do with the polls. Definitely do. But I just don't think it should be any surprise that Nova in particular would get dinged right now.
