North Carolina has dropped out of the AP men's college basketball poll after a fourth consecutive loss.
The program's first stay at the top since the 1980s was extended after 37 of 62 first-place votes were cast. Houston was the top ranked team in its first week.
The coach didn't dwell on the top ranking. "We don't think we're something we're not."
Fourteen first-place votes went to the Longhorns. There were three votes for Virginia and four forPurdue.
The program's highest ranking since the beginning of the 2012 season was 5. There are three other teams in the AP Top 25 that are also perfect.
It was the Swift Fall.

The Tar Heels lost their fourth game in a row over the weekend at Virginia Tech while playing without their injured big man. The panel that votes on the AP Top 25 had only one ballot this week.
"I told them that I'm not panicked, I'm not any of that," he said. We are going to be a great basketball team by the end of the season.

13 teams rose from last week.
It was slippery.
After losing at Texas and at home to Nebraska last week, Creighton plummeted to 21st.
