After yet another loss, the Duke Blue Devils dropped out of the AP top 25 for the first time since 2007.
We think we might be weathering a rough year in Spokane, just imagine how crazy things are Durham.
Elsewhere, the Oklahoma Sooners slightly increased their hold on the top spot in the AP Poll, while things still remain neck and neck in the coaches poll.
Gonzaga's two wins last week didn't help their case very much, but there are still chances to boost their resume. Games against SMU and the now-ranked Saint Mary's can give the Zags enough of a boost to make their way into the top 25. For now, we will have to get used to not seeing a number attached to the ESPN box score.
