Not really sure I understand this (from the AP story found on ESPN.com):
"Villanova is No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 for a second week and Kansas, coming off wins over two top-10 teams, jumps four places to second.
Duke, which had one of the longest consecutive poll streaks ever, returns at No. 20 after two weeks out of the Top 25.
Villanova (22-3) received 44 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel on Monday, with Kansas (21-4) getting the other 21.
Villanova is now one of six schools to have been No. 1 for two weeks, and it's quite a group the Wildcats joined.
Louisville is the only one of the six to have split the weeks at the top between two seasons -- 2008-09 and 2012-13. Two others made the jump to the top in recent years: Alabama in 2002-03 and Texas in 2009-10."
So there are 6 schools that, in their entire history, have been #1 for 2 different weekly polls, no more, no less? I would have figured Louisville for more than that.
I agree. This doesn't make any sense. There have obviously been many schools who were #1 for two consecutive weeks and a bunch of them have done it in more than one season.
Syracuse had been #1 in five different seasons:
1 week in 1987-88
6 weeks in 1989-90
1 week in 2009-10
5 weeks in 2011-12
3 weeks in 2013-14
