Poll Positions
The top five teams in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll:

1. UCLA
2. UNC
3. Florida
4. Wisconsin
5. Duke

For the complete ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, click here.

The 10-2 Buckeyes, who had previously spent one week at No. 1, fell from No. 3 to No. 6 this week after an 86-60 loss to defending national champion Florida on Saturday. The 11-2 Gators, who had been ranked fourth, replaced Ohio State at No. 3 after the win.

UCLA (11-0) received all 31 first-place votes and remained atop the poll for the fourth straight week. North Carolina (10-1) stayed at No. 2, while the other three teams in the top five -- Florida, No. 4 Wisconsin (12-1) and No. 5 Duke (11-1) -- each moved up one spot from last week's poll.

Following the sixth-ranked Buckeyes, the next four teams -- No. 7 Arizona (9-1), No. 8 Alabama (11-1), No. 9 Connecticut (10-0) and No. 10 Kansas (10-2) -- each jumped two spots from last week.

Following a 95-89 loss to No. 14 Oklahoma State on Thursday, its second straight defeat, Pitt (11-2) fell out of the top 10, tumbling from No. 7 to No. 11. Texas A&M (10-2) moved up from 13th to 12th, while Washington (10-1) saw the week's biggest improvement, jumping from 17th to 13th following wins against LSU and Weber State. The Cowboys remained 14th, and Butler (12-1) moved up a spot to No. 15.

Wichita State (9-2) suffered the week's biggest drop, falling from No. 8 to No. 16 following two straight losses to unranked teams, 71-68 at New Mexico and 60-56 at USC.

Air Force, whose Saturday game against Northern Colorado was postponed due to weather, jumped from 19th to 17th despite not playing any games last week. Nevada (10-1) also improved two spots to 18th after a win at unranked Akron.

After a loss at Washington and a win against Louisiana Tech, LSU (7-3) fell from 15th to 19th.

Oregon (11-0) remained unbeaten after an 84-64 win against Mercer and jumped from No. 23 to No. 20. Clemson (12-0) also stayed undefeated after two wins and moved up two spots to No. 21.

Despite posting wins against Oakland and Morgan State, Marquette (12-2) fell from No. 21 to No. 22. Memphis (9-3) also suffered a drop, falling five spots to 23rd after a loss at Arizona and a win against Middle Tennessee State.

Following two wins, previously unranked Notre Dame (10-1) moved into the poll at No. 24. Michigan State, meanwhile, stayed at No. 25 for the second straight week after wins against Belmont and Wisconsin-Green Bay.

Gonzaga, whose record fell to 9-4 following a 61-54 loss to the Blue Devils on Thursday, fell out of the poll.
I still think Duke and Carolina are highly overrated, being a Duke fan it hurts to say that, but most of their wins have been either real close or come from behind, and many against non ranked teams...

Thoughts?

The reason why Duke and North Carolina always in the Top 25 is becuase there talent is solid. I wouldn't call 'em over-rated, but I would say it's becuase of there strong school system.
