Duke Replaces Wake At No. 1

Duke has replaced Wake Forest as the top ranked team in the NCAA, marking the third time in three weeks the top ranking has changed teams, the Associated Press is reporting.

Duke visits Wake Forest on Wednesday night.

The Blue Devils have been ranked No. 1 in nine seasons since 1997-98, most of any school. Duke also is the third ACC team (North Carolina and Wake) to be ranked No. 1 this season; since ESPN's association with the coaches' poll began with the 1997-98 season, no conference has had three teams ranked No. 1 in a single season.
