sweet. Best case scenario

 

[HoustonCuse]

Wow can't believe Duke fell.

 

[Millhouse]

voters think the call was bullsh!t

duke doesn't get much credit for the win.

lose two in a row, stay in the top 4

 

[shandeezy7]

How does Duke fall a spot after going 2-1 on the week, with the loss being on the road to their top rival and beating the number 1 team at home?

Don't forget they also lost to UNC last week, while Kansas had a good week.

Duke and Kansas have the same amount of losses (6), but Kansas has done it against the hardest schedule in college basketball. They deserve to be ranked ahead.

I just think it's funny, because the last time we played Duke and THEY LOST to us, they moved up a few spots in the rankings. :noidea:

they didn't beat the number 1 team at home

 

[Frozen]

I can see voting Fla or Wich St. as #1 but I am not sure how Arizona gets #1 votes.

 

[shandeezy7]

What do you mean? Are you saying we weren't the number one team because we had already lost to BC?

I mean that Syracuse won on Saturday on Fair's alltime great play. I don't care what Tony Greene thinks

az played well this week. I think there are voters not convinced about uf (who really struggled this week) and wich. Who else do u vote for?

 

[Cusefan0307]

I'm surprised michigan st isn't in the top ten. I thought everyone thinks they are the best team.

 

[orangeinohio]

#4 is not bad at all.
And, we don't have to listen to sportswriters and columnists drone on about how undeserving Syracuse is of #1 votes.

Haha ahh gotchya

 

[BuffOrange]

I just think it's funny, because the last time we played Duke and THEY LOST to us, they moved up a few spots in the rankings. :noidea:

A) Double digit win @Pitt + OT loss @ Cuse
vs
B) Loss @UNC, Saturday's game.

A is the better week and it's not really close.

#1 seed most dangerous team when healthy.

Please

They also won a road game at Georgia Tech. I know that's not really adding to the resume all that much, but it's still a road conference game. Winning an ACC road game, losing on the road to the 19th ranked team and beating the 4th ranked team (in the new polls; number 1 at the time) shouldn't equal dropping in the polls.

Earlier in the season it looked like the Big Ten could have multiple #1 seeds, but certainly not anymore.
