The Virginia Cavaliers dropped to No. 15 in the latest AP Poll, which was expected after the Hoos dropped a winnable game against San Francisco in “Bubbleville.” Virginia tumbled 11 spots following the loss, but they weren’t alone in suffering a head-scratching early-season defeat. Then-No.3 Villanova lost in OT to Virginia Tech (now No. 16), while No. 10 Kentucky lost to Richmond (now No. 19) at home.
Gonzaga stayed at No. 1 after dominating victories over then-No. 6 Kansas and Auburn, while Baylor remained at No. 2.
Virginia Tech and Richmond joined the rankings this week, while UCLA and Michigan fell out.
