The Duke Blue Devils are still on top.

The Blue Devils, who are 12-0 this season, stand alone as the No. 1 team on the USA Today Top 25 poll, which was released Monday. Duke earned 30 first-place votes.

Michigan (13-0) earned one first-place vote and sits in second. Arizona (12-0), Louisville (12-1) and Indiana (12-1) round out the top five.

Ohio State (10-2) moved up two spots from last week to No. 8. Florida (9-2), Gonzaga (12-1) and Creighton (12-1) also jumped up in the poll thanks to Missouri (10-2) falling to UCLA on Friday. The Tigers went from No. 9 last week to No. 12 this week.

Cincinnati, who entered the week undefeated, lost its first game Thursday against New Mexico. The loss dropped the Bearcats from No. 8 to No. 15. The win put New Mexico on the poll, going from unranked to the No. 23 team.

Kentucky (8-4) dropped out of the Top 25.
