sportsreference has it. Here are their final rankings since 99-00:

So in that span X was ranked 1 more time than Cincinnati in the final poll despite all their tournament success and despite the 5 year gap created by the post Huggins fiasco.

Also 2011, UC was a 6 seed who lost in the second round, while Xavier was a 6 seed who lost in the first. Yet Xavier was #20 and UC was unranked.

Then the next year UC was a 6 seed and made the Sweet Sixteen yet was unranked again. Makes no sense.

6 seeds are top 25 teams.
