Duke extends its reign at the top of the AP Top 25, with Michigan State, Nebraska, and Texas Tech joining the elite group. But here's where it gets interesting: the Blue Devils' defensive prowess shines, holding opponents to an average of just 57 points per game since their loss to North Carolina. This week's poll saw some big moves, with Texas Tech climbing six spots and Michigan State rising five places. Meanwhile, Purdue took a tumble, dropping seven places after losses to Michigan State and Ohio State. But the biggest story might be Saint Mary's, who earned a share of the West Coast Conference regular-season title and a spot in the AP Top 25 for the first time this season. And don't forget about Miami (Ohio), the only remaining undefeated team in Division I, climbing two spots to its highest ranking since 1952-53. So, who's rising and who's falling? Find out in the latest AP Top 25 rankings, where the conference race is heating up and the battle for the top spot is far from over.
