Devils' due: Duke's eight-year run in Top 25 ends
For the first time in more than eight years, Duke is not in The Associated Press Top 25.
The Blue Devils are 15-6 and have lost four of five, including two home games. They had been in every men's basketball poll since the preseason rankings of 2007-08, a streak of 167 weeks that was the fifth-longest run since the AP poll debuted in 1948-49. The record is UCLA's 221 straight polls from 1966 to 1980.
Oklahoma is 18-2 and was ranked No. 1 for the third straight week, receiving 45 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday. North Carolina is 19-2 and stayed second, with 20 No. 1 votes.
Villanova jumped three places to third and is followed in the top 10 byMaryland, Iowa, Xavier, Kansas,Texas A&M, Virginia and Michigan State.
No. 24 Dayton and No. 25 South Carolina are this week's newcomers, replacing Duke and Notre Dame.
