The Syracuse Orange are unranked in the 9th week of the AP Poll. However, they are still receiving votes. Syracuse received 52 votes, just 26 votes away from cracking the top 25. Duke, who Syracuse defeated 86-50 in the Carrier Dome on Sunday, moved down from No. 12 to No. 18 - six spots.
Last week Syracuse received only 14 votes. Beating Duke and winning four straight games has Syracuse on a steady rise. The last time Syracuse was ranked was week five, ranked at No. 19. Syracuse is receiving the most votes of any team not ranked, so hopefully the Orange make the top 25 next week.
