North Carolina (9-0) held onto the top ranking in the Division I Coaches Poll with 24 of 25 first place votes this week, followed closely by Syracuse (5-0) at number two, and Northwestern (7-0) at number three. Boston College (5-1) jumped into the fourth position, Notre Dame (4-2) fell to fifth, Stony Brook (6-2) dropped into sixth, Maryland (5-1), Virginia (6-2), and Duke (6-3) each moved up a spot in the poll, and Penn State (3-3) fell to number ten. Denver (4-1) returned to the poll, tying Virginia Tech (2-5) for the final spot, while Southern California dropped out of the rankings, but continued to receive votes.

This week’s top-25 games start on Wednesday, when #13 Loyola travels to #19 Navy. On Friday we’ll see Boston College (#4) at Louisville (#16), and #8 Virginia at #22 James Madison. The weekend’s games include #7 Maryland at Northwestern (#3), and Virginia Tech (#T-25) at #2 Syracuse on Saturday, and #5 Notre Dame at Duke (#9), and a rematch of Boston College at Louisville on Sunday.
