Power Rankings: Statements and Stunners Shake Up the Top 10

Last week, we explained that we would give Tennessee a chance to respond to Duke's two wins over Virginia before dethroning it from No. 1. Well, the Vols got their shot in Lexington and fell well short, suffering their first loss since Nov. 23. It's no reason to sound the alarms on what remains a high-level Tennessee team, but it was plenty enough to bring change at the top of our power rankings for the first time since Jan. 21. And the team that was the beneficiary was, of course, Duke, a team that avoided a road embarrassment of its own with a comeback for the ages.
