Since its inception, the Big East has never had a week with no ranked teams. Villanova falling from #8 to out of the rankings would be quite a drop, but both losses have been at home and there is no reason to vote for them right now. Butler of St. John's might squeeze into the rankings, though doubtful.Tough start for the Big East. Long-term, it will be difficult for the basketball-onlies to hand with the Power 5 football conferences. One of many reasons I hate the godawful sport of football.
Interesting start for Furman, who have now beaten Final Four participants Loyola-Chicago and Villanova on the road.
