Here's some news Mike Krzyzewski may not demand that the media report: Despite winning twice this week, Duke slipped a spot to No. 3 in the country Monday.
But the demotion has less to do with the Blue Devils and more to do with an undefeated Wake Forest team that secured a marquee win last night over North Carolina. The Demon Deacons received two first-place votes--in our opinion, it should have been even more--and moved ahead of Duke by just eight votes. Pittsburgh remained No. 1, while North Carolina, the team that just 10 days ago was considered unbeatable, slipped to No. 5 after its second loss of the season.
Another hot ACC team, Clemson, moved into the top 10 at No. 10.
Duke's game against Georgetown Saturday will be a matchup between the No. 3 and No. 13 team in the country, as the Hoyas dropped four spots after a loss to Notre Dame this week.
