Plus, Duke still appears at No. 3 in the NCAA NET Rankings, where Auburn sits above Tennessee in the top two spots.
Once again, Duke doesn’t have any ACC company in the AP Poll. However, Pitt, UNC, and Clemson are among the 21 unranked programs receiving votes this go-round.
POLL ALERT: UCLA climbs 7 spots to No. 15 in the AP Top 25; top 13 teams remain unchanged, starting with No. 1 Tennessee.
