Duke's streak in the Top 25 is over after a 16-year run.
The Blue Devils fell out of the poll after 312 straight weeks. They entered on Nov. 29, 1999, and hadn't left until Monday. It's the third longest streak in the history of the poll since the rankings began in 1976. Only Tennessee (561) and Connecticut (423) have had longer runs in the Top 25 and both those streaks are still active.
"It shows the tremendous work that Gail (Goestenkors) and her staff did and shows the history of the program and the power of the players in the program," said Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie, who took over the program in 2007. "Our history is so fantastic and should be cherished. It's a different generation and time and you have to work through things and work for each other since nothing is guaranteed."
The Huskies remained No. 1 on Monday after routing Memphis and Temple this past week by an average of 47.5 points.
Connecticut was followed by South Carolina, Notre Dame, Baylor and Maryland. Texas dropped to sixth after losing its first game of the season Sunday to Baylor.
Duke (13-6) has struggled lately, dropping three of its last five games - to Syracuse, Louisville and North Carolina State. The Blue Devils spent 34 weeks at No. 1 during its 16-year streak trailing only Connecticut and Baylor in that period.
