Finally, we’re getting a true shakeup in the top 10.

Here’s everything you missed in the 14th week of the regular season, and the latest Associated Press poll.

Arizona leads again as top 10 finally shakes up

Arizona once again retained the No. 1 spot in this week’s poll after a blowout win over Oklahoma State on Saturday. The Wildcats will travel to Allen Fieldhouse for a top-10 matchup on Monday night, however, and then will have to host Texas Tech on Saturday. No. 22 BYU and No. 3 Houston are up next week for them, too, marking a critical stretch for the last undefeated team outside of Miami (Ohio).

Michigan remained at No. 2 this week, too. The Wolverines beat Penn State and Ohio State by more than 20 points each this past week to get to 22-1 on the year.

But that’s where things finally changed. Half of the top 10 from the previous poll lost at least one game over the past week. UConn fell to St. John’s (we’ll get to that) and Duke lost at the end of its rivalry matchup with North Carolina in what ended up being a chaotic scene in Chapel Hill. That ended a 10-game win streak for the Blue Devils, though they held on at No. 4. North Carolina climbed three spots to No. 11. 

Illinois, after getting revenge over Nebraska last week, fell in overtime at Michigan State on Saturday. The Spartans, however, were coming off back-to-back losses — including a bad one at Minnesota — before that win. Oh, and Gonzaga fell at Portland in what was the program’s first win over the Bulldogs since 2014. Portland had lost for of its last five entering that matchup, too. Gonzaga dropped six spots in this week’s poll to No. 12.

It was Houston that moved to No. 3 above Duke, thanks to its road win over AJ Dybantsa and BYU. Iowa State then jumped UConn and moved back into the top five.

Do we need to look at St. John’s again?

St. John's isn't back ... right?

After multiple bad losses to start the season that dropped them out of the national rankings completely, Rick Pitino’s group in New York is suddenly on a nine-game win streak — which it capped with a nine-point win over UConn on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Zuby Ejiofor dropped a 21-point, 10 rebound double-double in that contest, his fifth of the season. That snapped an 18-game win streak for the Huskies, and sent them falling three spots to No. 6 this week.

St. John’s jumped to No. 17 this week as a result of the win. It brought Pitino to 903 wins in his career, too, which has him tied with Roy Williams for third in Division I history. 

While the streak and upset win are both impressive, it’s hard to tell if St. John’s is back where everyone thought it would be just a few months ago. The win over the Huskies was just the first ranked matchup for the Red Storm since late November, and their only win over a ranked opponent all season. There is only one more ranked opponent left on their schedule, too, but it’s a rematch with UConn on the road later this month. This win streak they've been on has been straightforward in a relatively down year for the Big East as a whole. 

Despite the loss, UConn is still very much in control of the Big East. But if St. John’s can keep this streak going through the end of the season, and not get blown out in Storrs in a few weeks, a third battle between the two teams in the Big East tournament could get very interesting next month.

DeMarcus Lawrence was right all along.

Lawrence and the Seattle Seahawks rolled to a win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night in Santa Clara, California. That marked the franchise’s first championship in more than a decade, and the first of Lawrence’s career.

But Lawrence knew that wasn’t going to happen for him with the Dallas Cowboys, the team that selected him with the No. 34 overall pick back in 2014. That’s why, after 11 seasons with the franchise, Lawrence opted for a change in free agency last offseason.

That resulted in him signing a three-year, $32.5 million deal with the Seahawks and, now months later, a Super Bowl ring.

While he wasn’t completely mean to the organization on his way out the door in Dallas, Lawrence didn’t hold back, either.

“Made my home there [in Dallas], my family lives there,” he said in March, in part. “I’m forever gonna be there, but I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there.”

Those comments didn't land well in Dallas, either. Former Cowboys star Micah Parsons, who is now with the Green Bay Packers, called them, "clown s**t."

Lawrence ended up with 53 total tackles and six sacks this season with the Seahawks. He earned his fifth Pro Bowl nod, too. The 33-year-old had two total tackles, one of them on his own, and both a pass deflection and a quarterback hit in the team’s 29-13 win over the Patriots on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.

The Cowboys, after Lawrence left, went 7-9-1 and failed to make the playoffs for a second straight campaign. While the Cowboys have won five championships in the past, the team hasn't been to a Super Bowl since 1996. Though Lawrence undoubtedly would have helped the Cowboys defense this past season, something it desperately needed, he just wanted to move on.

That decision, it turned out, paid off not even a full calendar year later. With the Lombardi Trophy in hand, it's hard to imagine Lawrence has any regrets about that move.

Eli Manning has once again missed out on making it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The longtime former New York Giants quarterback fell short of making the cut into the Hall of Fame again this year, marking his second straight time falling short as one of the 15 modern-era finalists. 

The full class was announced at the NFL Honors on Thursday: Drew Breees, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly, Adam Vinatieri and Roger Craig.

Manning is generally expected to eventually earn his way into the Hall of Fame, though the topic is often debated and there are plenty who think he shouldn't. He currently ranks 11th in both career passing yards and career passing touchdowns in league history, and he won two Super Bowls during his 16 seasons with the Giants. The four-time Pro Bowler was the 2016 Walter Payton man of the Year, too. 

Manning finished with a 117-117 overall record with the Giants, however, and he was eventually replaced by then-rookie Daniel Jones during his final season with the franchise in 2019. Manning also led the NFL in interceptions three times. 

But despite the areas where he may have struggled, history is on Manning's side. He is one of six players with multiple Super Bowl MVP awards to his name. Of that group, three were first-ballot inductees. The other two, longtime New England Patriots star Tom Brady and current Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are expected to be first-ballot entries once they are eligible.

The Hall of Fame is controlled by Canton's selection committee, which is made up of a 50-person panel of media members all selected by the Hall's board of directors and appointed to two-year terms. Each team's media contingent gets a representative, as does the Pro Football Writers of America organization. The last 17 spots are then filled by at-large contributors. It takes at least 80% approval to get in.

Manning isn't the only notable NFL figure who didn't make the cut into the Hall of Fame this year. Longtime Patriots coach Bill Belichick fell short of his bid to become a first-ballot entrant. Belichick was reportedly "puzzled" and "disappointed" by the decision during his first year of eligibility. He reportedly asked associates, "Six Super Bowls isn't enough?" and "What does a guy have to do?" after learning of the news, which set the NFL world into a firestorm on social media on Tuesday.

Longtime Patriots owner Robert Kraft also didn't make the cut. Both Patriots luminaries likely had their candidacies hurt by a much-criticized system that makes them compete against each other and senior players like Craig.

In the end, Manning very likely will make it to Canton. Whether or not he gets there before Belichick or Kraft, however, is now anybody's guess.
