AP Top 25: Seton Hall makes their season-debut in the Top 25, after having knocked off UCONN earlier in the week. Creighton also returns to the ranking after having briefly been on the outside. Despite some major losses by ranked teams, the voters were somewhat conservative in their approach, refusing to shake things up. Louisville lost at home to Notre Dame (who hadn't won a road a game before that) and UCONN lost to both Seton Hall and Rutgers. Interestingly, neither UCONN or Louisville have beaten a team currently ranked in the Top 25. The same can be said for Florida, who lost to lowly Tennessee, but only fell to 19th.
