Maryland remains No. 1 in the land — though not as definitively as a week ago.
The Terps (4-0) claimed 18 of 26 first-place votes, and preseason No. 1 Virginia (4-0) gained a few more after its drubbing of Syracuse in Charlottesville on Saturday.
To Maryland’s credit, it handled a pesky Princeton team that also moved up two spots in the Week 3 Men’s DI Media Poll.
Georgetown (3-0) and Rutgers (5-0) are ranked 3 and 4, respectively, as the top four teams in the country are undefeated. Penn (1-1) rose to No. 5 after beating Duke, and Ohio State (4-0) continues its early-season rise.
The story of February, though, has been Jacksonville (5-1). After a close loss to Johns Hopkins to start the season, the Dolphins have rattled off five straight. This weekend was a successful trip out West for wins at Denver and Air Force, pushing Jacksonville into the Top 10 at No. 8 and ahead of North Carolina (4-1), Duke (5-2) and Cornell (2-0).
Boston U (3-0) is another undefeated team and gets into the Top 20 at No. 19, tied with the Pioneers.
