19. Duke Blue Devils

Previous Ranking: 19

Record: 18-5 (6-4 ACC)

Duke remains solidly in place in the top 25 after beating Notre Dame and Pittsburgh last week. They are playing better at the right time going into the first Tobacco Road Showdown with North Carolina this Thursday.

Coach K returned to the sidelines against the Panthers and got a big night from Grayson Allen as a result. The controversial guard had 21 points, six rebounds and six assists in the win. Amile Jefferson followed with 15 and nine. If the team can take out UNC, it puts them in great position for their final seven regular season contests.
