Syracuse and Virginia remain at #1 and #2, respectively, as we begin March, with UVa still clinging to one first place vote. This sets up next Sunday's battle between the two as what might turn out to be one of the most exciting games of the regular season. More than worthy of live television, we should feel lucky enough that it will be available - delayed - on ESPNU at 12:30AM on Sunday. Set your DVR.

Points-wise, these top two teams are a step above the rest of the field, which is headed by the now #3 North Carolina after claiming that spot from Johns Hopkins. Five through nine remained the same, but Loyola and Hofstra swapped #10 and #12 which doesn't seem like a huge move, but there is a large drop off in points after #11 Harvard.

Speaking of an IVY, Dartmouth now rounds out the poll, bringing to five the number of IVY League teams in the Top 20.
