A major shake-up is in store for Monday's AP Top 25 after preseason darlings like Louisville and BYU had a disastrous week. Louisville has been awesome against undermanned units, but when it plays up, it does not look pretty. Another slow second-half start doomed the Cardinals in losses to North Carolina and Clemson this week. A club that looked poised to make a run at a potential Final Four will likely drop out of the polls.

BYU is right there with Pat Kelsey's boys. The Cougars' defense went MIA in losses to UCF and West Virginia. No Richie Saunders is a blow, but BYU's attention to detail defensively is at all-time lows.

Here's our best guess at how the rankings will look and how voters' ballots will shake out.
