The Virginia Cavaliers picked up a spot in the AP Poll, moving up to No. 4 this week thanks to a 2-0 record and a loss from then-No. 2 Kentucky. Duke, understandably, took over the top spot after dismantling Kentucky 118-84 to open the season. Kansas, the former No. 1, fell to No. 2, followed by Gonzaga at No. 3. Tennessee rounds out the top five.
There are a poll-high seven ACC teams ranked, with No. 7 North Carolina, No. 14 Florida State, No. 15 Syracuse, No. 16 Virginia Tech, and No. 19 Clemson joining the Blue Devils and Cavaliers in the Top 25.
