NORTH CAROLINA (22-3) 5. PITTSBURGH (22-3) 6. TEXAS A&M (21-3) 7. UCLA (21-3) 8. KANSAS (21-4) 9. MEMPHIS (21-3) 10. NEVADA (22-2) 11. WASHINGTON ST (21-4) 12. BUTLER (23-3) 13. MARQUETTE (21-5) 14.

February 12, 200719 yr They should be out of the polls. Teams have been penalized all year for losing streaks and now its Duke's time. They aren't a top 25 team right now. Maybe later but not right now.
February 12, 200719 yr Kentucky stays in the same spot as last week in both polls: ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll: 18 AP Poll: 20
February 12, 200719 yr Duke deserved to be dissed, especially after being showed up by the Terps. UK didn't move, which is probably what they deserve after the Florida game.
February 12, 200719 yr After all the voting inconsistencies this season, I would have put money on Duke still being in the Top 25.
February 12, 200719 yr Author First time Duke has been left out of ESPN poll EVER (started in 97/98)...still very impressive...Also its the first time they have been out of AP since 95/96!
February 12, 200719 yr Long overdue for them to be out. I still say that I won't count this team out til that final buzzer in the NCAA tourney. I'm not saying they are going to win it all, but this team getting to the sweet 16 wouldn't surprise me.
February 12, 200719 yr but this team getting to the sweet 16 wouldn't surprise me. But getting any farther would suprise me...
February 12, 200719 yr I bet there having fried Coach K for dinner in Durham??!! Coach K has run it a muck!! Been falling ever since it peaked!! 5 loses in a row, Coach K has gotta go!!!! J/K>>>>>>>>> I belive I've heard something to this effect before..................but not at Duke! I'm not a Duke fan but I do believe Coach K is a class act and is a must in college Basketball. I also feel the same about Coach T. Smith. I believe they have done a great job and a great service for college ball in this time and age. Players jumping to the NBA like kids getting of a merry-go round. It's hard to maintain a very competive team when players are looking at teams so they can play early and often and then make the jump. Coach K and Coach Smith have tried to get players that will stay and be competive in college and lead their teams to a final-four. It's hard to find those players now!!!
February 12, 200719 yr After all the voting inconsistencies this season, I would have put money on Duke still being in the Top 25. And you'd be broke...
