Wake tops the poll for the first time since November 2004, the start of current NBA star Chris Paul's sophomore season.
Pittsburgh's two-week reign at No. 1 came to an end with its first loss of the season at Louisville. The Panthers slipped to fourth, while the Cardinals made the biggest move of the week from 20th to 12th. Illinois and Memphis, tied for 24th, moved into the rankings, replacing Michigan and California.
