The ACC now has a staggering seven teams in the top 25, with six of those teams in the top 10 and all seven in the top 13. The Big Ten is second with four teams, including Ohio State at No. 1.
The Big East and SEC are represented by four teams each. Memphis is the only Conference-USA team in the rankings, and the Atlantic-10 has both Xavier and Dayton in the top 25.
Stanford is again the lone Pac-10 team in the rankings because Duke knocked California out of the top 25.
