The Horned Frogs moved up eight spots to No. 9, the first time the school has been in the top 10. The team’s previous best finish was 13th in 2004.
The Fighting Irish, who were third last week, dropped seven spots to 10th after losses to TCU and Utah in the Cayman Islands.
UCLA remained #1 with UConn right behind them. The Bruins received 25 first-place votes from a national media panel, while the Huskies earned the other seven. The Bruins won three games in three days in Hawaii over Thanksgiving weekend. The Huskies picked up two wins at a holiday tournament in the Bahamas.

The Blue Devils moved up five spots to eighth after beating then-No. 9 Kansas State and No. 8 Oklahoma in a tournament in Las Vegas. It’s Duke’s highest ranking in a decade, tying the No. 8 ranking on Nov. 24, 2014. The Wildcats fell to 13th and the Sooners to 11th.

NC State dropped out of the poll for the first time in 24 weeks, which had been the 10th longest active streak. The Wolfpack is 4-3 with all those losses coming against 10 current opponents (South Carolina, TCU and LSU). Wes Moore’s team takes on No. 18 Ole Miss in the SEC/ACC Challenge on Thursday. Oregon also fell.
rising tide
Alabama moved up four spots to No. 19, the school’s best ranking in 25 years. The Crimson Tide improved to 9-0 with a 98-49 win over Georgia State on Monday, the team’s best start since going 9-0 to open the 2000-01 season.
Breakdown of the conference
