Heels Stay Put at #15 in this week's AP Top 25; Kentucky and UVA Remain Undefeated #1 & #2

Week 11 Rankings have been released and here is the rundown:

AP Top 25

ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll

The latest polls are in and Carolina stays put in the #15 slot according to the AP Top 25.  Last week, Carolina hung on for a tough road win Wednesday night against NC State, 81-79, and then defeated VA Tech 68-53 in a very sloppy game Sunday evening.  This week Carolina will go on the road to play in-state rival Wake Forest on Wed 1/21, who is playing much better basketball under the reins of new head coach Danny Manning and then the Heels will welcome the Seminoles of Florida State to Chapel Hill on Sat 1/24.

ACC teams in this week's poll are:

#2    Virginia  (17-0)
#5    Dook  (15-2)
#8    Notre Dame (17-2)
#10  Louisville  (15-3)
#15  UNC (14-4)

Kentucky and UVA remain the only undefeated teams in Division I basketball and are ranked #1 & #2, respectively.  With Kansas, Utah, and Louisville losing games last week, the Top 10 has shaken up a bit.  Notre Dame and Iowa State are new to the Top 10 as they kicked Kansas and Utah out.  Villanova and Dook flip-flopped spots due to Dook's loss to Miami (FL) early last week.  The Top 10 in order are Kentucky, Virginia, Gonzaga, Villanova, Dook, Wisconsin, Arizona, Notre Dame, Iowa State, Louisville.

Three Out
Arkansas (was #19)
Oklahoma St. (was #24)
Wyoming (was #25)

Three In
#22  Dayton
#23  Indiana
#25  Iowa

Miami (FL) was the only other ACC team that received votes (41), but not enough to make it into the Top 25 this week.
