Virginia, after its loss last week at Miami, dropped to 12th in this week’s coaches poll and 13th in this week’s AP poll.

The Cavaliers (8-2, 1-1 ACC) lost 66-64 at Miami, then ranked 22nd, on Tuesday. The ‘Canes (12-1, 3-0 ACC) moved to 14th in the AP poll and 16th in the coaches poll with the win.

UVA is still the top-ranked team from the ACC this week. Duke (10-3, 1-1 ACC) is 14th in the coaches poll and 17th in the AP poll.

The Blue Devils lost their only game last week, 81-70, at unranked Wake Forest on Tuesday.

North Carolina, the preseason #1, is back in the AP poll this week after a two-week absence.

The Tar Heels (9-4, 1-1 ACC), who defeated unranked Michigan 80-76 on Wednesday, are 25th in the AP poll, but were left out of the coaches poll.

Virginia Tech (11-2, 1-1 ACC) dropped out of both polls after the Hokies’ 70-65 OT loss at unranked Boston College on Wednesday.
