Duke rises to No. 1 in AP Top 25 men’s hoops poll for record 148th time
[ad_1]
Duke’s win against Michigan has propelled the Blue Devils to a familiar perch: No. 1 in The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll.

The Blue Devils climbed two spots to top Monday’s poll, marking the 148th appearance at No. 1 to add to what was already the record for any program. Duke (25-2) claimed 56 of 61 first-place votes to supplant Michigan (25-2) after Saturday’s 68-63 win against the Wolverines in Washington.

That win came in a matchup of the top two teams in the NCAA men’s selection committee’s preliminary top 16 seeds for March Madness, released hours before the game. The Blue Devils enter this week with a national-best 12 Quadrant 1 wins, along with nine wins against AP Top 25 teams.

And now the latest such win has pushed the Blue Devils back to a No. 1 ranking for the second straight season under fourth-year coach Jon Scheyer. Last year’s Final Four team sat atop the last two polls entering the NCAA Tournament, the first time Duke had reached No. 1 since Scheyer took over for retired Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski in 2022.

Arizona rose two spots to No. 2 after beating BYU and winning at Houston, and secured the other five first-place votes. Michigan fell to No. 3 as its first appearance at No. 1 since January 2013 turned into a one-week stay, followed by a pair of Big 12 teams in Iowa State and Houston.

The top tier

UConn fell one spot to No. 6 after a week that included a home loss to Creighton, while reigning national champion Florida leapt five spots to No. 7 to return to the top 10 for the first time since late November. The Gators were ranked No. 3 in the preseason and spent a week among the unranked in early January. They have won seven straight and 12 of 13.

Purdue, Gonzaga and Illinois rounded out the top 10.

NCAA selection committee vs. AP Top 25

The selection committee had Michigan, Duke, Arizona and Iowa State as the No. 1 seeds in Saturday’s reveal of the preliminary top 16 seeds. The Cyclones edged UConn and Houston for the fourth 1-seed, with the Huskies’ loss to Creighton and then Iowa State’s head-to-head win against Houston to start last week swinging the vote to T.J. Otzelberger’s squad.

Monday’s poll largely aligns with the committee’s reveal, starting with the same four teams at the top in a shuffled order — with Iowa State moving up two spots even after Saturday’s loss at now-No. 19 BYU.

In addition, the AP Top 25 and committee align on 15 teams being ranked among those top 16 seeds. The outlier is St. John’s at No. 15 in the AP poll, taking a slot that went to Vanderbilt — with the Commodores seeded 15th overall by the committee Saturday but sliding to No. 25 in Monday’s poll.

Rising

Alabama had the week’s biggest jump, rising eight spots to No. 17 after a thrilling double-overtime home win against Arkansas and a win at LSU pushed the Crimson Tide’s win streak to six games.

Florida had the week’s second-biggest gain, while BYU rose four spots after the Arizona loss and Iowa State win.

In all, 11 teams moved up from last week’s ranking.

Sliding

No. 14 Kansas joined Vanderbilt with the week’s biggest slide of six spots. The Jayhawks are coming off a 16-point home loss to a Cincinnati team that was reeling in early February but has won four straight.

The Commodores lost at Missouri and at home to Tennessee last week, falling to 5-6 since a 16-0 start that carried them to a No. 10 ranking as of mid-January.

Saint Louis tumbled five spots to No. 23 after last week’s loss at Rhode Island ended an 18-game winning streak, while 11 teams fell from last week but remained in the poll.

Status quo

Illinois and No. 20 Arkansas were the only two teams to hold their position from last week.

Coming and going

Tennessee was the lone new addition at No. 22, with the Volunteers beating Oklahoma and Vanderbilt last week to push its winning streak to four games. This starts a third stint in the poll for Rick Barnes’ Volunteers, who fell out for two weeks in mid-January, returned for a week at No. 25 to start February, then were unranked again for the past two weeks.

The Vols replaced Wisconsin, which fell out from No. 24 after last week’s loss at Ohio State.

Conference watch

The Big 12 led all conferences with six ranked teams, while the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference each had five. The Atlantic Coast Conference was next with four, followed by the Big East with two.

The West Coast Conference, Mid-American Conference and Atlantic 10 each had one ranked team.

TCU football climbs into final AP Top 25 poll after bowl victory

[ad_1]

TCU football is No. 25 in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll that was released Tuesday.

The Horned Frogs ended the year on a three-game winning streak to finish 9-4, including wins at Houston (No. 22 in the final poll) and No. 20 USC in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30.

The Horned Frogs defeated the Trojans 30-27 in overtime without starting quarterback Josh Hoover, who entered the transfer portal in the days leading up to the bowl game. Backup quarterback Ken Seals led TCU to the comeback win.

It’s the first time TCU has been ranked in the final AP poll since the 2022 season when head coach Sonny Dykes led the Horned Frogs to a 13-2 record and an appearance in the national championship game.

Even without Hoover, expectations will still be high next season as TCU retained most of its core from this season’s team and added some key additions in the transfer portal like Harvard quarterback Jaden Craig.

Indiana claimed the College Football Playoff national championship with a 27-21 victory over Miami on Monday.

The Hoosiers are of course No. 1 in the final AP poll, followed by Miami, Ole Miss, Oregon and Ohio State.

Besides TCU and Houston, other Big 12 teams in the final poll are No. 7 Texas Tech, No. 11 BYU and No. 14 Utah.

How Week 13 college football games impacted the AP Top 25 football poll

RALEIGH

Week 13 of the college football season was relatively uneventful, results wise, with most of the ranked teams picking up wins in their scheduled games. Plenty of questions remain, however, about conference championship berths and potential playoff teams.

Twenty-one programs in the AP Top 25 were in action this week, with Indiana (11-0), Ole Miss (10-1), Texas Tech (10-1) and Virginia (9-2) on byes.

Four ranked teams lost, two of which were part of ranked-on-ranked matchups, and another came against a formerly-ranked team. Most of the rankings in the top 15 stayed the same.

With the losses, however, two spots opened at the bottom of the poll. This allowed the ACC add a pair of ranked teams. The ACC has five programs in the top 25.

Panthers stun Yellow Jackets

Georgia Tech (9-2) had a win-and-get-in scenario for the ACC Championship game, but a 42-28 senior day loss to Pittsburgh (8-3) threw a wrench into its title game hopes.

Pitt took a 28-0 lead in the second quarter thanks to freshman quarterback Mason Heintschel’s strong passing. The Yellow Jackets responded with a pair of scores to cut the Panthers’ lead to 14 points ahead of halftime.

Georgia Tech had an opportunity to cut its deficit to one score, but Brylan Lovelace intercepted Haynes King’s red zone pass and returned the ball for a 100-yard pick six.

The Yellow Jackets scored another two touchdowns, but a 55-yard rushing score from Ja’Kyrian Turner sealed the Panthers’ win. In the past 20 years, ACC teams are 0-341 when trailing by 28 points.

After the loss, the Yellow Jackets dropped eight spots in the rankings to No. 23, and allowed Pitt to re-enter the poll at No. 24. The Yellow Jackets can still make the conference championship, but they no longer control their own destiny, and need losses from other teams to earn a spot. Georgia Tech, Pitt, Virginia, Miami, SMU and Duke all remain contenders for the title game.

Notre Dame squashes Syracuse

Syracuse’s season looked promising with quarterback Steve Angeli in the backfield. Things have since gone sideways since his injury earlier this year. The Orange’s loss at No. 9 Notre Dame (9-2) perfectly, albeit unfortunately, represented the team’s collapse.

The Orange (3-8) fell to the Irish, 70-7, in South Bend after all-out dominance from the Irish, despite recording just 67 passing yards. Notre Dame took a 21-0 lead in the first 5:10 of the game without an offensive possession.

Syracuse quarterback Joseph Filardi threw three interceptions in the loss, including two pick sixes during the Irish’s hot start. Notre Dame scored a punt return touchdown, as well, in its early barrage.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame ran through the Syracuse defense. It put up 329 rushing yards, led by Jeremiyah Love’s 171 yards and three touchdowns. Three other players ran for a score. Syracuse recorded 29 tackles in the loss, and no one finished with more than four.

Notre Dame’s defense kept Syracuse off balance and did not allow the Orange to find the end zone until Filardi rushed for six yards on the final drive of the game.

Notre Dame remained at No. 9 due after a lack of upsets in the top half of the poll.

Sooners continue climb

Oklahoma (9-2) defeated Missouri (7-4), 17-6, in Norman during one of this week’s two ranked-on-ranked matchups. The Tigers took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter, before the Sooners responded with a pair of touchdowns in the second.

OU led Mizzou, 14-6, at halftime and added a field goal in the third quarter to end its scoring. Despite the low offensive production, the Sooners’ defense held up against the Tigers, who finished 11 of its 13 drives without points.

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns, with Isaiah Sategna hauling in three passes for 109 yards.

On the opposite side, Beau Pribula threw for 231 yards and two interceptions. Ahmad Hardy, the nation’s leading rusher, was held to 57 yards on 17 carries.

The Sooners’ win, their third in a row, keeps them in contention for the College Football Playoff. Like Notre Dame, Oklahoma stayed at No. 8, while Missouri, previously No. 23, dropped out.

Utes rally for Big 12 win

A late Utah surge, after trailing by 12 midway through the fourth, lifted the team past Kansas State, 51-47. The Utes’ defense struggled against the Wildcats for much of the evening, but it made the big play.

Tao Johnson intercepted Kansas State’s two-point conversion attempt, after KSU went up 47-35, and scored on the return. Johnson’s play put the Utes within 10 points, instead of down 14.

Utah scored two touchdowns in the final seven minutes, while forcing a punt and intercepting another Kansas State pass, to pull off the comeback. Devon Dampier threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns, while running for 94 yards and another two scores. Running back Byrd Ficklin found the end zone three times.

Utah dropped one spot to No. 14, swapping places with Miami (9-2).

JMU tops Cougars

James Madison picked up a 24-20 win over Washington State at home to pick up its 10th win of the season and remain unbeaten at home. The Dukes scored a touchdown in three quarters and made a field goal in the first.

A 14-point second quarter allowed the Cougars to go up by one touchdown. JMU’s defense held WSU to a punt, turnover on downs and field goal in the second half.

Wayne Knight led the JMU offense, running for 126 yards on 15 carries. He scored a 58-yard touchdown rush to take a fourth-quarter lead and win the game.

Neither team’s offense was particularly impressive. The defenses made the statements. JMU, for example, turned the ball over on downs in the third quarter after possessing the ball for eight minutes and 17 seconds. On Wazzu’s final scoring drive, it burned nearly eight minutes of clock and only came away with three points. With the time of possession playing a major factor in the game, it needed more productivity.

The Dukes rose to No. 20 from No. 24 in the latest update.

EUGENE, OREGON – NOVEMBER 22: Makai Lemon #6 of the Southern California Trojans is tackled by Dillon Thieneman #31 of the Oregon Ducks and Jadon Canady #22 of the Oregon Ducksin the first half against the Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium on November 22, 2025 in Eugene, Oregon.

Other notable results

Ohio State (11-0) used a 28-point second half to defeat Rutgers (5-6), 42-9. The Buckeyes led from wire-to-wire, despite missing two starters on offense, and scored four consecutive touchdowns in the second half to pull away. The win should keep Ohio State on top of the rankings and give it plenty of confidence going into Ann Arbor next week. It will be the first time since 1973 that Ohio State is undefeated and ranked No. 1 when playing at Michigan.

Oregon (10-1) knocked Southern California (8-3) out of playoff contention with a 42-27 win in Eugene. The Trojans took an early lead and tied the game again at 14 points. The Ducks, however, scored four first-half touchdowns and took a 28-14 lead at halftime. While offense stole the show, Oregon’s defense held when it mattered. The Ducks, who scored on six drives, allowed USC to score on four and stopped the two-point conversion. USC dropped to No. 19 and Oregon rose from No. 7 to No. 5.

Despite being winless in the SEC, Arkansas gave Texas (8-3) all it had. The Longhorns won 52-37 after needing a big third quarter to pull away from the Razorbacks (2-9). Texas led by four points at halftime, before scoring 21 in the third and holding Arkansas to three. That gave the Longhorns a large enough cushion when the Razorbacks tried to mount a comeback. Arch Manning led Texas with six touchdowns — four passing, one rushing and one receiving.

Houston (8-3) fell to TCU (7-4), 17-14, and dropped from the poll. The Cougars allowed the Horned Frogs to score twice in the first quarter and tied the game in the third. Houston missed two field goals in the fourth quarter, while TCU made the game-winning kick with 11 1/2 minutes to play.

No. 3 Texas A&M (11-0), No. 5 Georgia (10-1), and No. 10 Alabama (9-2) all won their matchups. They outscored their opponents, 139-3. The Aggies and Crimson Tide, however, played FCS-level Samford (1-11) and Eastern Illinois (3-9), respectively. The Bulldogs defeated Charlotte (1-10), which is last in the American.

Several teams made cases to be ranked after the other losses. Arizona State (8-3) defeated Colorado, 42-17, and was No. 26 in the voting. SMU (8-3) throttled previously-ranked Louisville (7-4), 38-6, to remain tied for first place in the ACC. The Mustangs slid in at No. 25 after receiving votes last week.

Arizona (8-3), South Florida (8-3), Washington (8-3) all picked up decisive conference wins, as well, and received votes but did not crack the top 25.

Michigan Skyrockets In AP Top 25 Poll Following 27-24 Win Over USC
[ad_1]
The Michigan Wolverines have made a statement in the College Football landscape after their hard-fought 27-24 victory over the USC Trojans, pushing their record to 3-1 and elevating them to No. 12 in the latest AP Poll. This dramatic win featured a last-minute comeback that not only maintains Michigan’s ranking streak since 2021 but also reignites their ambitions for a successful season, as noted by On3.

The Significance of the Victory

This matchup was a testament to Michigan’s strategy of controlling the game through a powerful running attack. Head coach Sherrone Moore emphasized the team’s focus, stating, “We felt like we needed to possess the ball… and wanted to control the clock.” The Wolverines rushed for an impressive 290 yards as a team, with Kalel Mullings leading the charge, racking up 159 rushing yards on just 17 carries—averaging nearly 9 yards per attempt. Such offensive strength is vital for a team looking to assert itself in a competitive Big Ten landscape.

Defensive Performance Shines

On the defensive side, Michigan displayed several brilliant moments, most notably a key pick-six by standout cornerback Will Johnson. This defensive effort was crucial, limiting USC to just 32 rushing yards throughout the game. The ability to dominate on both sides of the ball bodes well for Michigan’s future aspirations, especially as they gear up for upcoming contests against conference rivals.

Implications for Upcoming Matchups

Looking ahead, Michigan has a tough schedule lined up with ranked opponents, including Illinois and Oregon. To solidify their standing among the elite in college football, maintaining the momentum from this victory will be essential. The Wolverines are one of six Big Ten teams currently in the top 25, illustrating the fierce competitiveness within the conference.

Staying Informed on Michigan’s Journey

As fans and analysts reflect on Michigan’s rise in the AP Poll, it’s crucial to stay updated on the developments of this year’s college football season. Here are some resources for tracking the Wolverines’ journey:

Blue Devils bludgeon UVA. 3 takeaways from No. 10 Duke’s lopsided win over Cavaliers

[ad_1]

Durham

Playing its best first half of the season, No. 10 Duke delivered shot after shot to give Virginia no hope of winning Saturday night.

The Blue Devils needed fewer than 10 minutes to build a 10-point lead and fewer than 15 to take a 20-point lead. The second half was academic as Duke rolled to a resounding 73-48 ACC basketball win.

Kyle Filipowski, whose 15 first-half points nearly matched Virginia’s scoring output (18), paced the Blue Devils with 21 points. Tyrese Proctor added 15 points with five assists while sophomore forward Mark Mitchell scored 10.

“I’m just proud of our guys,” Duke coach Jon Scheyer said. “They just came out ready to play with an aggressive and sharing mindset. I think our team is growing. Flip was terrific. When he plays like that it changes our whole team.”

The win keeps Duke (23-6, 14-4 ACC) one game behind ACC-leading North Carolina (23-6, 15-3 ACC) in the league standings with two regular-season games to play. The Blue Devils are already assured of a top-two league finish and a double-bye into the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament in Washington, D.C.

Virginia (21-9, 12-7) shot an unsightly 23.6% in the first half, making just 6 of 26 shots. The Cavaliers had more turnovers (seven) than made shots over the game’s first 20 minutes.

That allowed Duke to lead by as many as 25 points before halftime.

For Filipowski, the preseason ACC player of the year who is Duke’s leading scorer and rebounder, the performance marked his his biggest scoring game since scoring 21 in Duke’s 77-69 win over Wake on Feb. 12.

It was also a stark contrast to the only scoreless game of his college career, which came a year ago when Duke lost 69-62 in overtime to Virginia.

“We remember what happened last year,” Filipowski said. “We’ve got to keep that in our mind and we’re going to make that a statement this year for sure.”

Here are three takeaways from the game:

Blue Devils thrive in the paint

Duke started the game determined to get the ball inside for high-percentage shots, and was immediately in violating Virginia’s vaunted pack-line defense. The Blue Devils scored 28 of their first-half points in the lane to build a 40-18 halftime edge.

“When you are playing a team with the firepower of Duke,” Virginia coach Tony Bennett said, “you can get separated quick.”

With Filipowski and Mitchell finding room to maneuver inside and even Duke’s guards finding driving lanes, 20 of Duke’s first 29 points were in the paint over the game’s first 12 minutes.

That’s a big reason why Duke hit 14 of its first 18 shots and hit 58.6% of its first-half shots overall.

“I thought we did such a good job of flowing into offense and driving downhill making the right reads,” Scheyer said, “and then good things happen. From that, we just kept our foot on the gas.”

Duke finished with 44 points in the paint, exceeding its season average of 35.6 per game. Impressively, the Blue Devils scored more points in the paint against Virginia than any other team this season. The Cavaliers have only allowed ACC teams to score 24.7 points in the paint per game.

Locked in defensively

Nobody will ever mistake Virginia for a competent offensive team. The Cavaliers failed to reach the 50-point mark in three of the previous four games prior to Saturday. Their shooting percentage on 2-point shots this season was 47.2%, 295th among the nation’s Division I teams.

That said, Duke took advantage defensively to challenge Virginia with a switching man-to-man defense that easily stymied the Cavaliers. Virginia made just 4 of its first 21 shots as Duke built a 38-13 lead. At that point, Virginia had scored just .542 of a point per possession.

Virginia finished the game shooting 30.9% overall, making 5 of 17 3-pointers (29.4%). The Cavaliers scored 0.8 points per possession for the game. That’s compared to Duke’s 1.2 points per possession.

Going big

Scheyer indicated earlier in the week, freshman guard Caleb Foster’s absence due to a right foot injury will have the Blue Devils going with bigger quintets more than usual for the foreseeable future.

Yes, Duke started three guards in Proctor, Jeremy Roach and Jared McCain. But the first substitute off the bench was 6-9 freshman TJ Power, the first time he’s had that honor this season. Prior to playing 14 minutes in Duke’s 84-59 win over Louisville on Wednesday night, Power did not play in six of Duke’s previous 10 ACC games.

But that was before Foster was injured during Duke’s 83-79 loss at Wake Forest on Feb. 24.

The Blue Devils frequently went with two-guard lineups against Virginia, rotating Filipowski, Mitchell, Power, Ryan Young and Sean Stewart at three forward positions.

The bigger lineup allowed Duke to dominate the rebounding stats again. After winning the rebounding battle by 19 over Louisville, Duke outrebounded Virginia, 42-29.
