Syracuse had been ranked No. 1 in both the Associated Press Top 25 and ESPN/USA Today coaches' polls for the last three weeks.
After losing to Boston College on Wednesday and Duke on Saturday, Syracuse had its three-week run atop the rankings come to a close Monday.
The Orange dropped to No. 4 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll behind Florida, Wichita State and Arizona. The Blue Devils slid from No. 5 to No. 6 as they were also upset by North Carolina, which re-entered the rankings at No. 19. Virginia is the only other Atlantic Coast Conference team in the AP poll at No. 13.
SU fell to No. 5 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches’ poll as Louisville also jumped the Orange. Duke came in at No. 7, the Cavaliers at No. 11 and the Tar Heels at No. 21.
Syracuse will look to halt its slide Monday night when it takes on Maryland at 7 p.m.
