Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2114508, member: 652"] I think Duke has a better case for a 1 seed than North Carolina. Duke played the top 9 ACC teams on the road. UNC played 5 of the top 9 ACC teams on the road. That probably tacked one or two extra loses on Duke and saved UNC an extra loss. Both way played tough nonconference schedules. UNC beat Wisconsin, Tennessee, Davidson, Monmouth, Oklahoma State. Duke beat Michigan State, Rhode Island, Florida, Penn State, UNC went 15-5 in ACC play. Duke went 15-7 in ACC play. I can reasonably say the difference is the road schedules. North Carolina won an unbalanced regular season title Duke won the conference title. Beating Clemson-Louisville-North Carolina-Notre Dame on consecutive days. Duke beat North Carolina 2 of 3 times. Including tiebreaker on neutral court. All of this to me adds up to reasonably concluding Duke could or maybe should be above North Carolina on the S-Curve. [/QUOTE]
