The Muskies earn all but two first-place votes to claim the No. 1 spot from Villanova.
What a time to be a Musketeer! Xavier claims the top spot in our Power Rankings for the first time this year thanks to an impressive win over Cincinnati (and a Villanova loss to Oklahoma). All but two first-place votes went X's way, and if you ask the experts, Xavier is looking like a Final Four team in mid-December. Of course, we said the same about Nova last year. Crying Piccolo Girl still hasn't gotten over it.
Well well well, wouldn't ya know?
