Last week's AP Top 25 shakeup vaulted Virginia into the No. 1 spot for the first time since 1982, and the Cavaliers held steady atop this week's poll with 42 of 65 first-place votes. Madness inside the top 10 this past week however produced a scramble beneath them with a brand new order from 5-10.

Altogether, the top 10 teams last week stumbled to a combined 10-9 overall -- headlined by an 0-2 week for both Cincinnati and Ohio State and a 1-1 week for Villanova, Xavier, Texas Tech and Purdue, giving us a new top 10 that includes appearances by North Carolina, Kansas and Duke.

Michigan State, which mounted an historic comeback on Saturday to stun Northwestern, remained at No. 2 in this week's poll and Villanova and Xavier kept its spots at 3 and 4. The Spartans garnered 19 first-place votes behind Virginia. Villanova received four first-place votes.
