There were some nerves among Tennessee fans after Duke’s big road win over Virginia. The Blue Devils passed a huge ACC test on Saturday, picking up their second win over the Cavaliers this season. Duke shot 62 percent from three-point range on Saturday night, handling third ranked Virginia with relative ease.

That wasn’t enough to jump the Vols in the AP Poll, however. Tennessee earned 40 first place votes over Duke’s 24. Both teams have big road games this week with Duke traveling to Louisville and Tennessee traveling to Kentucky.

Virginia dropped to the four spot with their loss.
