Villanova is back on top of the college basketball polls after a one-week slide.

The Wildcats returned to No. 1 in Monday's AP poll after a wild week that included previous No. 1 Michigan State and No. 2 Duke being upset.

Due in part to a big win over Trae Young's Oklahoma squad, West Virginia moves to No. 2 in the new poll - the Mountaineers' highest ranking since Jerry West's senior season in 1959. Virginia rounds out the top 3.
