Duke Drops To #2 In AP Poll

Not that it matters very much. The main poll is in March and only one team will be first in that one.

The new AP poll is out and Duke is #2 while Virginia comes in at #3. Tennessee is #1 after both Duke and Virginia lost last week as did previously undefeated Michigan.

Virginia Tech fell one spot to #10 after getting hammered by Virginia last week. UNC is #11 and NC State fell to #21. Louisville made it for the first time this season, showing up at #23 while Florida State has fallen out of the Top 25 after three straight conference losses although they would be #26 by votes. Syracuse was the only other ACC team to receive votes.

Also, Steve Wojciechowski has Marquette up to #12.

We usually link to ESPN and, as usually noted, prefer the coaches poll to AP. Neither was updated the last time we looked but should be shortly.

Congratulations to Tennessee fans for the #1 spot. It hasn’t happened too often there obviously so it’s a big deal. We have to wonder what folks at Texas think since they more or less pushed him out and he’s just been sensational in Knoxville.
