After falling N.C. State last weekend, Duke lost its undefeated record and is no longer the No. 1 team in the nation.
The Blue Devils fell to No. 3 in this week’s AP Poll as Louisville claimed the top spot and former top dog Indiana moved up to No. 2. Kansas and Michigan round out the top five while N.C. State jumped to No. 14 after previously being ranked No. 20.
Louisville received 36 of the 65 first-place votes, and Duke received the second most with 14, one more than Indiana. The top three teams are close in the rankings, all within 90 points.
The Blue Devils lost 84-76 to N.C. State on Saturday without senior forward Ryan Kelly, who is sidelined indefinitely with a foot injury. They beat now-No. 1 Louisville earlier in the season to win the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas.
Duke, Arizona, Michigan and Wyoming all entered last week undefeated but lost. The top eight teams in the nation now all have one loss.
The Blue Devils and the Wolfpack remain the only two ACC teams in the top 25 while Miami also received nine points.
