Notes:

-This is the most significant shifting that we’ve seen in the polls in five weeks.

-Drake goes 1-1, yet only drops two spots.

-Some schools that people think are overrated (Washington State, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin) are on the rise.

-UConn did not receive one preseason vote in the Top 25. They are now ranked 13th.

-The Big East has laid claim to the most spots in the polls this season for every single week except two.
