Best 3 Wins: Illinois, Virginia, Nc State.
2 Losses: Georgia Tech, North Carolina.
NCST is a fine win. Duke hanging in. GT is the worst lost of any team above them. UNC is not much better either. But 2 loss ACC team at the moment

NR; very quietly 6-2, will they win the ACC again?

Biggest riser: SMU (NR->20)

Duke has been quietly having a nice season but has two bad losses and no signature wins. The schedule is difficult from here on out. Very unlikely to make the playoffs or even stay ranked but still a fun season for the Blue Devils fans so far.

Duke re-enters after continuing to win. The losses earlier in the season were brutal, but not unforgivable, as North Carolina is clearly getting back on track. With Illinois being on the bubble, that win is also pretty solid, alongside their Virginia win. Being a Power 4 team with 2 losses is also a huge boost.
