Both the Hoos and the Heels suffered disappointing losses this week, so the esteemed STL Power Ranking committee shook up the number 1 spot in this week’s rankings. Meanwhile, most of the bottom half of the conference have spent the early season losing to good teams and beating bad teams - making for a confusing lower tier.
1) Duke (8-1) Last week: 2
The Blue Devils beat a struggling Michigan State squad and played Maine for some reason. Tomorrow’s game against #21 Florida could solidify them as ACC favorites before conference play begins.
2) North Carolina (8-1) Last week: 1
The Heels looked like the best team in the country before their somewhat surprising loss on the road at IU.
