SLANTblog's VA Top Five: Mar. 8

Each Tuesday SLANTblog publishes its new Virginia Top Five. For the fourth consecutive season this feature attempts to rank what seem at the moment to be the best five teams from among the 14 Division I programs in the Commonwealth.

SLANTblog's VA Top Five

1. ODU (27-6; No. 23 RPI)
2. Mason (26-6; No. 26 RPI)
3. Richmond (24-7; No. 61 RPI)
4. VCU (23-11; No. 48 RPI)
5. Va. Tech (19-10; No. 63 RPI)

Next week's edition of the Top Five will conclude this year's posts of this feature.

Note: Only games against Division I opponents are counted in won/loss records. And, recent results matter more than games played in the early weeks of the season. The RPI numbers, which are updated frequently, are from CBS Sports at the time of posting.
