Elsewhere in the top 25, UCLA is holding steady at No. 1, and the week’s biggest riser is crosstown rival USC, which rose up 12 spots. Virginia’s rise continues, too, with the Cavaliers finally breaking into the top 10.
This week’s newcomers to the rankings include West Virginia coming back in at No. 20, Oregon at No. 21 and Louisiana at No. 25 with TCU, UTSA and LSU — yep, the Tigers are officially unranked — dropping out.
Here are the entire top 25 rankings as of March 16, plus our favorite moments and what we’re watching in the week to come.
Previous rank: 20 Record: 16-3 Next game: vs. Bethune Cookman, 6 p.m. on Tuesday (ACC Network Extra)

There are plenty of top-ranked SEC matchups this weekend, like Texas at Auburn, but we’re narrowing in on the ACC with NC State traveling to Tallahassee to face Florida State. NC State had a little bit of a rocky 2-2 week, dropping games to Elon and Boston College, but it did bounce back to eventually take the series against BC. Florida State meanwhile swept then-ranked No. 12 Wake Forest, though it did drop a game to Florida earlier in the week. Can the Wolfpack bounce back on the road? Or have the Seminoles found their groove?
And a closer look at that premature celebration is kind of necessary.
