DePaul, off the heels of their second straight Big East regular season and tournament titles, check in at the No. 22 position in the polls. Doug Bruno's squad is the only team to represent the Big East Conference in the poll's first edition.

The Villanova Wildcats also are in the mix, as they received two votes from the pollsters.
