Tar Heels Stay Put at #15 in This Week's AP Top 25; Kentucky #1, Louisville Drops 5 Spots

Week 16 Rankings have been released and here is the rundown:

AP Top 25

ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll

The latest polls are in and Carolina remains #15 according to this week's AP Top 25.  Last week, the Heels lost an OT Thriller to archrival Dook in Durham 92-90 on Wednesday night and then came back home to Chapel Hill to rout Georgia Tech 89-60 on Saturday afternoon.  The Heels will play another rival Tuesday night, 2/24, as NC State comes to town and then UNC will go on the road and play at Miami this Saturday, 2/28.

ACC teams in this week's poll are:

#2    Virginia  (25-1)
#4    Dook  (24-3)
#9    Notre Dame  (24-4)
#15  UNC  (19-8)
#17  Louisville (21-6)

With no surprise, Kentucky is once again the unanimous choice for the #1 spot as the Wildcats continue their march to an undefeated season.  There are absolutely no changes in the Top-8 from last week's AP Poll, but Notre Dame has scooted up to #9 to make room for a new member to the Top 10, Northern Iowa.  The Top 10 in order are Kentucky, Virginia, Gonzaga, Dook, Wisconsin, Villanova, Arizona, Kansas, Notre Dame, Northern Iowa.

Two Out
Oklahoma St. (was #22)
Ohio St. (was #24)

Two In
#24  San Diego St.
#25  Providence

No other ACC teams received votes for the AP Top 25 this week.
