Georgetown has had a roller coaster season thus far, but things are trending up and their positions in the various polls seem to reflect that. It is ranked ninth in the AP Top 25 poll, and even higher in the official RPI.
The Hoyas come in at No. 4, which is one spot higher than it was last week. It seems to be the beneficiary of playing in the Big East, where you get the chance to knock off a quality opponent with almost every game. It is a combined 14-2 on home/neutral courts, which also has to help its ranking.
The other big surprise on the list is BYU coming in second, even though it ranks seventh in the AP Poll. Here are the rest of the RPI rankings.
