AP men's college basketball poll reaction: What's next for each Top 25 team?

I don't think SJU is the sixth best team in the country and only 2 BE teams in Top 25 is warranted but not a good luck.Outside of SJU all BE teams seem to be degrading in this new era.
 
UConn winning two nationals in a row degrading.
UConn although trailing off will be OK as they have $$.Marquette may be OK because Shaka looks like he can maintain and build a program.The other teams are not their former selves.It's not the BE of the 80's and 90's.
 
I wouldn’t say Uconn is trailing off coming off 2 titles and still being a good team this year (one who I think can still get better and be a factor in March, and is my pick to win the BE tourney).

3 teams in the Sweet 16 last year even though we didn’t get as many in as I would have liked.

Hoping X can be 5 this year.

SJU isn’t the 6th best team nor do they have anywhere near the 6th best roster, but at 27-4 and 17-2 with zero bad losses the ranking is kind of justified. They have 4 losses by a total of 7 points, which is freaking wild if you think about it.

Except for X (if they get in), I think all 4 Big East teams can make runs in the dance and can also get knocked out quickly.
