The three major polls were released on Monday afternoon. The Syracuse Orange fall several spots in each poll, although the team still is above Hopkins in two of the three major rankings. The Orange are in the midst of its toughest portion of the season. With Duke up next, it is entirely possible SU goes into its game against Notre Dame 5-2. I expect Syracuse to finish the regular season with a 10-3 record.
North Carolina rises after decisive wins over Richmond and Manhattan. Duke destroyed Georgetown last week and doesn't move in any of the polls, but the Blue Devils have a real opportunity this week facing Syracuse.
