New Polls Out; Memphis Remains No. 1

The new AP and Coaches polls are out, as well as several other versions of the Top 25 rankings. Most all of the polls will have Memphis as the No. 1 team in the country, and then some other combination of Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, UCLA and Georgetown following right behind. Today’s blog is not about those teams, it’s about the teams that are just short of making the poll. Here are the AP Poll’s “Others Receiving Votes,” as a countdown.
