Despite a home loss to Georgetown, Xavier remained in the top 10 in both of the national medial polls this week. The Musketeers landed seventh in the AP Poll and eighth in the USA Today poll after going 1-1 on the week. The computers were not nearly so kind to Coach Mack's squad, who fell from eighth in the KenPom to 17th as of today. Fellow Big East teams Villanova and Providence join Xavier in the top 10.
A quick shoutout to this week's poll hero, Fletcher Mackel of WDSU-TV New Orleans, who voted for Grand Canyon this week.
