Kansas is the top-ranked team in the final Associated Press Top 25, followed by Gonzaga and Dayton.
Rest of the story...

Flyers finish 3rd but receive a first-place vote! Does anyone know if this is a first for the program? If it happened before it would have been in the 1950's when we reached #2 in the country, right?

Thank you John Feinstein! AP voter has UD as #1!
I bet he attended a Flyer game and liked what he saw.

So, if the NCAA now hits up Kansas with sanctions, it negates our loss to Kansas, we finish 29-1 and we move up to 2 and possibly 1?

He always picks some small school for his 25th pick - usually one that nobody else voted for. He gave Belmont their 1 and only point in the poll by putting them in at 25. I'd rather not have his pity #1. A solid #3 is something to be proud of by itself.

I DVRed the last five games of Kansas, Gonzaga, Baylor, Seton Hall, Michigan State, Maryland, Creighton, Villanova, SDSU, and Kentucky, and watched all of them (often fast forwarding, mind).
The two teams that were playing far and away better than the others were Michigan State and Dayton. Given MSU has nine losses, I have no problem whatsoever justifying a vote for Dayton at one.

You forgot Duke. They were playing unprecedented great in all those late season losses. At least the voters thought so.

tirebiter . . . I think that Feinstein, a Duke grad, has a soft spot for the Flyers, going back to when he was in grammar school. Coach Donoher told me long ago that Feinstein and his dad sat with Mrs. Donoher behind the UD bench at the Garden when we beat Kansas for the NIT championship in '68.
