If we ignore the entire rest of the country, the AVCA top 25 poll voters had to take the following things into account for Monday’s brand new top 25:
- #12 Marquette lost to #24 Western Kentucky on a neutral floor
- #24 Western Kentucky lost on the road against a Dayton team that wasn’t receiving votes
- #12 Marquette beat the Dayton team that beat #24 Western Kentucky and they beat them in the Flyers’ barn.
That and a whole bunch of other things going on this weekend — we’ll get into some of them in a second — led to Marquette dropping to #19 in the new AVCA top 25 this week.
