UNC Moves Up Two Spots to #13 This Week in the AP Top 25; Kentucky & UVA Remain 1-2

Week 12 Rankings have been released and here is the rundown:

AP Top 25

ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll

The latest polls are in and Carolina moves up two spots to #13 according to the AP Top 25.  Last week, the Heels won both outings, defeating Wake Forest 87-71 in Winston-Salem on Wednesday and beating Florida State 78-74 at home on Saturday.  A tough stretch of games over the next week begins Monday evening (1/26) with a home game versus Syracuse and then a huge battle with Louisville on the road Saturday afternoon (1/31).

ACC teams in this week's poll are:

#2    Virginia  (19-0)
#4    Dook  (17-2)
#8    Notre Dame (19-2)
#10  Louisville  (16-3)
#13  UNC (16-4)
#23  Miami (Fl) (14-5)

Kentucky and UVA remain the only undefeated teams in Division I basketball and are still ranked #1 & #2, respectively.  Iowa State's loss to Texas Tech dropped them from the Top 10 and Villanova's loss to Georgetown moved them from 4th to 7th.  Kansas is back into the Top 10 with its wins over Oklahoma and Texas last week.  The Top 10 in order are Kentucky, Virginia, Gonzaga, Dook, Wisconsin, Arizona, Villanova, Notre Dame, Kansas, Louisville.  Miami (Fl) joins the Top 25 at #23 and becomes the 6th ACC team in the poll.
