After convincing home wins over Colorado and Utah last week, the Oregon Ducks moved up to No. 11 in the AP Poll this week.
It is the highest they have been ranked this season, after a previous best of No. 15 on Nov. 30.
The Ducks remain the top-ranked PAC-12 team, while Arizona (17) and USC (23) were the only other two teams from the conference to crack the top 25.
Oregon (20-4, 9-2 Pac-12) is on the cusp of it’s first top-ten ranking since 2014, and the Ducks (20-4) are off to their best start in 13 years. Jerry Palm of CBS Sports has the Ducks slated as a No. 2 seed for the upcoming NCAA tournament in his latest predictions.
Oregon also retained their spot at third in the RPI rankings.
Villanova (20-3) jumped into the top spot of the AP Poll this week after previous No.1 Oklahoma (19-3) suffered an 80-69 loss at Kansas State on Saturday.
