The Blue Devils lost their fourth game since December 2 on Saturday but their second to North Carolina, and in the eyes of coaches around the country, that was enough to be bounced from the top 10.
In the newest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll released on Monday, Duke slipped three spots down to 11th.
The Blue Devils had recently bounced back into the top 10 after eight of their last nine games, but the Tar Heels jumped out to a 15-4 lead in the opening minutes and never relinquished the advantage.
UNC, for its part, leaped up to fourth in the nation, behind only Houston, Connecticut, and Purdue.
Tennessee, Creighton, Arizona, Iowa State, Kentucky, and Marquette rounded out the top 10. The Golden Eagles only beat out Duke by six total points for the 10th spot.
No other ACC teams even earned a vote in the ballots.
