Our latest edition of Power Rankings are out!
In this week’s edition, 16 pollsters ranked the Big East teams 1-10.
This week’s edition featured the contributions of Anonymous Eagle and Casual Hoya.
10. DePaul Blue Demons
(Score: 10.00; Last Week: 10; Highest Vote: 10; Lowest Vote: 10)
“Oh boy. We have a unanimous #10.” - Robert O’Neill
“There were squash matches at the Rosemont Horizon on WWE shows more competitive than Villanova-DePaul was.” - Chris Novak
9. Georgetown Hoyas
(Score: 8.18; Last Week: 8; Highest Vote: 5; Lowest Vote: 9)
“Georgetown dropped a spot, but it was more due to St. John’s than the Hoyas.” - Robert O’Neill
“Although they’re ninth, it feels like there’s a valley between 9 and 10. Might just be me.” - Chris Novak
8. Providence Friars
(Score: 7.47; Last Week: 7; Highest Vote: 7; Lowest Vote: 9)
“The Friars beat a top 25 team on Saturday, yet still dropped a spot. Just like Georgetown, this one has more to do with St. John’s than Providence” - Robert O’Neill
“Hell of a win for Providence in tagging Butler this past weekend.” - Chris Novak
7. St. John’s Red Storm
(Score: 7.18; Last Week: 9; Highest Vote: 4; Lowest Vote: 9)
“Look at the Johnnies!” - Robert O’Neill
“‘Greg St. Jean is a difference maker” - (Jeff Goodman, probably)’” - Chris Novak
6. Seton Hall Pirates (1)
(Score: 6.29; Last Week: T-5; First Place Votes: 1; Lowest Vote: 9)
“The Pirates continue to perform strongly in our poll.” - Robert O’Neill
“I’m going to just hold my tongue.” - Chris Novak
5. Marquette Golden Eagles
(Score: 5.59; Last Week: T-5; Highest Vote: 5; Lowest Vote: 9)
“The Golden Eagles’ NCAA Tournament chances are getting dimmer by the moment.” - Robert O’Neill
“And to think I thought that Marquette had an easy path ahead of them after the ‘Nova win. Yeesh.” - Chris Novak
4. Butler Bulldogs
(Score: 3.76; Last Week: 2; Highest Vote: 2; Lowest Vote: 5)
“Butler is at a bit of a crossroads. They need to get back on track over the next month.” - Robert O’Neill
“They’re in no danger of missing the NCAA Tournament, but Butler has to start trending upward. Kelan Martin also needs to get it together.” - Chris Novak
3. Xavier Musketeers
(Score: 3.24; Last Week: 3; Highest Vote: 3; Lowest Vote: 4)
“There’s no shame in a home loss to Villanova. Xavier has been very good despite losing Edmond Sumner and despite Trevon Bluiett’s ankle being wonky.” - Robert O’Neill
“X has been showing tons of promise. It could be all for naught if Bluiett is out for an extended period of time though.” - Chris Novak
2. Creighton Bluejays
(Score: 2.12; Last Week: 5; Highest Vote: 2; Lowest Vote: 3)
“Creighton benefitted from playing just DePaul last week, but they sure looked impressive in the victory.” - Robert O’Neill
“Remember when people buried Creighton? That was fun.” - Chris Novak
1. Villanova Wildcats (16)
(Score: 1.06; Last Week: 1; Highest Vote: 1; Lowest Vote: 2)
“Business as usual up top.” - Robert O’Neill
“Man, that Jalen Brunson kid is good.” - Chris Novak
