Its the same four schools bunched at the top of the poll that have been there from the start. Pitt, Syracuse, Villanova and Connecticut. Beyond those four there has been a bit of a shakeup as Georgetown continues their collapse down the standings and St. John's keeps rising behind the magical hair for Steve Lavin and other things. UC falls a spot from 9 to 10 which isn't unexpected, or undeserved all things considered. In other surprising news DePaul has avoided being last on every ballot for two weeks in a row which has to be some sort of record.
