Heels Drop Four Spots to #19 in this Week's AP Top 25; Kentucky Remains #1; Wichita St. & Maryland Join the Top 10

Week 17 Rankings have been released and here is the rundown:

AP Top 25

ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll

The latest polls are in and Carolina slides down four places to #19 according to this week's AP Top 25.  Last week, the Heels dropped a home game to rival NC State 58-46 on Tuesday night and then went on the road and won a tough matchup over Miami (Fla) 73-64 Saturday afternoon.  The Heels will play its last regular-season road contest Tuesday night, 3/3, against Georgia Tech and then will finish the regular-season at home on Sunday, 3/7, in a much-anticipated rematch against archvival Dook

ACC teams in this week's poll are:

#2    Virginia  (27-1)
#3    Dook  (26-3)
#12  Notre Dame  (24-5)
#16  Louisville  (23-6)
#19  UNC (20-9)

With no surprise, Kentucky is once again the unanimous choice for the #1 spot as the Wildcats continue their march to an undefeated season.  Gonzaga suffered a home defeat to BYU on Saturday night, dropping the 'Zags from #3 to #7.  Dook moves up to the #3 spot.  Notre Dame and Northern Iowa lost a game last week, so they have dropped out of the Top 10.  Wichita State (#8) and Maryland (#10) are the newcomers to the Top 10 this week.  The Top 10 in order are Kentucky, Virginia, Dook, Villanova, Arizona, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Wichita St., Kansas, and Maryland.

Two Out
VCU (was #22)
San Diego St. (was #24)

Two In
#23  Ohio St.
#25  Murray St.

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