Carolina Drops Nine Spots to #21 in the Latest Polls; Kentucky Unanimous #1

AP Top 25

USA Today Coaches Poll

The latest polls are in and Carolina drops nine spots to #21 in the AP Top 25.  The loss to Iowa on Wednesday hurt the Heels in this week's poll as many media outlets questioned Carolina's toughness.

ACC teams in this week's poll are:

#2    Dook  (8-0)
#4    Louisville  (7-0)
#6    Virginia  (9-0)
#20  Miami (Fl) (8-1)
#21  UNC  (6-2)
#25  Notre Dame (8-1)

Kentucky was the unanimous #1 choice this week and Dook's victory over Wisconsin pushed the Blue Devils to #2, leapfrogging Arizona who stays put at #3.  Louisville and Wisconsin round out the Top 5.

Four teams dropped out of the AP Top 25, including three Big Ten teams making room for three others and an ACC team.  Here's how it shook out:

Four Out
Michigan (was #17)
Arkansas (was #18)
Michigan St. (was #19)
Illinois (was #24)

Five In
#17  Washington
#23  Northern Iowa
#24  St. John's
#25  Notre Dame

NC State also received votes; however, its total votes did not propel them into this week's Top 25.
