Wouldn't be so sure on Creighton....

They were #21 and lost by 17 to Providence before beating St John's by 12....

22-25-
22 Penn St beats Michigan St and Minnesota. They will pass Creighton easily
24 Colorado beats Cal and Stanford. Should pass Creighton
25 Houston beats Tulane and Wichita. They will pass Creighton easily

Arizona falls out

Texas Tech was 26th. Beat Oklahoma and Texas. Very possible they pass Creighton as well.

4 I think happens this week, with a team at 26 or 27.

Per CUs SID it’s the first time since 2013 Big East has had 5 teams ranked at the same time. (2 Louisville, 8 GT, 16 Marquette, 18 Cuse, 22 Pitt)

I don't think Villanova should be ranked 15 right now, I feel that maybe around 21 would be more accurate. Our last 3 losses were against ranked teams so no shame there, but we are still going through some growing pains and need our bench to step up big time. Our 5 starters have been really good, but our bench leaves a lot to be desired. Any of our guys get into foul trouble, like Gillespie, and it can turn ugly for us quickly.

Regardless, it is great to see 5 Big East teams ranked. Very good for the league obviously. Hopefully we make some noise in March and shut the doubters up.
