The Tigers (17-2) hold the throne at No. 1 for another week, but the story is everything happening beneath them. The Blue Devils (11-5) rocketed from No. 13 to No. 4 — the biggest jump in the poll — turning a middling résumé into a top-five statement almost overnight. The Fighting Irish (13-3) slid up to No. 2, giving the ACC three of the top four spots alongside Duke.
Not everyone survived the shake-up. The Cavaliers (10-7) plummeted from No. 4 to No. 11, the steepest fall of the week, while the Big Red (11-5) dropped from No. 5 to No. 10. The Spiders (14-2) took a tumble too, falling from No. 2 to No. 7 despite just two losses on the year.
The Orange (13-6) quietly climbed four spots to No. 3, and the Red Foxes (12-5) crashed the party as the only new entry at No. 20. The poll's message is clear: the ACC is loading up for May, and nobody's spot is safe.
