March 1st AP Poll

[Performance]

Oh boy DePaul. They lost to Butler. Pick any of the "others receiving votes" and put them at #25 ahead of DePaul now.

What has happened to DePaul, do they have a key player injured or did they have a break due to COVID? They just aren't the same as they were a month ago.

Key player out, no time table

How does Tennessee move up 6 spots after beating a team that had no wins?

Soft spot in the chart.
Oregon, Ohio St had multiple losses
WVa, Georgia, Kentucky, USF also had losses.

USF probably should've fallen more after getting creamed by Houston, but only dropped 2 because of all the other losing teams.
Ga & KY moved up despite going 1-1 last week for the same reason.

Not sure I would rank DePaul ahead of Marquette. But then I don’t think I would rank DePaul period, a mediocre record playing in a mediocre conference—if you ignore conference champion.
