Same drill as last week…

Quick thoughts:

• UNC still #1, with a clearer mandate in this poll, with 5 more #1 votes than UCLA
• The top 10 teams are in exactly the same order as the Coaches Preseason Poll
• Georgetown’s #1 vote replaces Kansas’s single #1 vote (from the coaches poll)
• Variance is minimal – the biggest difference is NC State (#21 AP; #24 Coaches)
• The only different teams in the Top 25? K-State is #25 in the AP, Villanova #25 in the Coaches (each is #26 in the other poll)
• Mining the OTR shows a few differences of opinion:
  • Huggins’ WVU squad got 20 media votes but nary a single coaches vote
  • Mizzou (8) and Vandy (6) are a couple of the other notables that received some media love but none from the coaches; on the other side of things, Bradley (7) and Utah (4) were the top vote-getters from the coaches that got nada from the media
• Nothing else too exciting that we didn’t already mention in the Coaches Poll review, although we still think USC and NC State are incredibly overrated
