Villanova (31-3) is No. 1 overall. Check. Gonzaga (32-1) and Kansas (28-4) among the top four at No. 2 and 3, respectively. Check and check. But about No. 4 — that’s where the final AP Top 25 differed from the 2017 NCAA Tournament top regional seeds.

Arizona (30-4) came in at No. 4 in the final poll of 65 media members, released Monday.

Meanwhile, North Carolina (27-7) was the fourth No. 1 seed in the 2017 bracket but came in at No. 5 in the last poll.

Villanova received 59 first-place votes, cementing its hold on No. 1, while Gonzaga received the remaining six first-place votes.

According to the AP, 15 teams were ranked the entire season, but Villanova — which was No. 1 for eight weeks — and Kansas were the only two that spent the whole season among the top 10.
