There’s a new No. 1 in college basketball.
Michigan (10-0, 2-0) surged to the top spot in the NET rankings Monday, passing Virginia after last week’s two victories at Northwestern and over South Carolina.
The Cavaliers dropped to the No. 3 spot after a 57-49 decision against Virginia Commonwealth. Duke sits at No. 2, while No. 4 Gonzaga is due to drop after its 76-73 loss to Tennessee factors into the equation.
The NET — or NCAA Evaluation Tool — replaced the Ratings Percentage Index as the NCAA Tournament selection committee’s go-to ranking.
