The good news in the polls released this afternoon: Bucknell breaks the Gonzaga stranglehold on first place votes in the Mid-Major Top 25, grabbing one of the 31 first place votes (the other 30 went to the Zags). The Bison hold on to the No. 2 spot, 21 points ahead of Northern Iowa.

In the AP and Coaches polls, it's a little different story. Those voters have Northern Iowa ranked this week. Bucknell continues to be in the "others receiving votes" in both.

UNI is 25th in the AP Poll, 24 in the Coaches rankings. Bucknell this week is fifth among others in both, equivalent to being ranked No. 30.

Why the mentions about Northern Iowa? See below, or check back around 4 for "official" word.
