AP Top 25: For first time, Villanova is No. 1

It seems like history or something very notable is being introduce to the men's Division I AP poll every week.

The latest release has the Villanova Wildcats atop the rankings, marking the first time in the history of the program this has happened. The team right on Nova's heels, Maryland, also has never been No. 1. So if Maryland wins this week but Nova doesn't, we'll be right back here with a history-marking poll in seven days.

VU's jump was made possible because of losses by Oklahoma and UNC on Saturday. The Sooners and Heels fell to unranked teams, marking the first time in a decade No.
