In this week's USA Today top 25 poll, Washington and Northwestern come in, and James Madison and Michigan State drop out:

1. South Carolina
2. Connecticut
3. Texas
4. Notre Dame
5. Baylor
6. Louisville
7. North Carolina
8. Texas A&M
9. Tennessee
10. Maryland
11. Kentucky
12. Duke
13. Oregon State
14. Oklahoma State
15. Stanford
16. Nebraska
17. Rutgers
18. Mississippi State
19. Georgia
20. Iowa
21. West Virginia
22. Syracuse
23. Washington
24. DePaul
25. Northwestern

I've thought Northwestern, in particular, should have been ranked long ago. First ranking for Washington since 2003.
