The Blue Devils were at No. 8 two weeks ago and have seen an increase in each release since, but Duke fans continue to hang its hat on the early projection of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee where Mike Krzyzewski’s team was a No. 2 seed in the East Region.

There was no change in the Top-5 of the AP Poll with Baylor, Gonzaga, Kansas, San Diego State, and Dayton as the Maryland Terrapins follow Duke at No. 7 with Florida State, Penn State, and Kentucky rounding out the Top-10.

Duke, Florida State, and Louisville are the only ACC teams that are ranked in the poll this week despite the Cardinals dropping both of its games this week and falling from No. 5 to No. 11.

With Louisville’s down week, Duke slid into first place in the ACC regular-season standings and current control its own destiny for the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament which seems so important this season.
