Duke is back in Top 25 after 2 weeks out of poll

There is a number in front of Duke again. After two weeks of being one of the unranked, the Blue Devils are back in Paste BN Sports (and Associated Press) Top 25.

One of the longest streaks of consecutive poll appearances ended two weeks ago when Duke dropped out of the rankings. Its run of 175 consecutive polls (167 in the AP) started with the preseason Top 25 of 2006-07. A run of four losses in five games knocked the Blue Devils from the ranks of the ranked.

A four-game winning streak has Duke (19-6) at No. 19 (No. 20 in the AP) and if the Blue Devils go on a run similar to their last one they will be ranked until sometime in the 2024-25 season.
