It's hard to put Duke ahead of OSU. OSU beat them by 20 points.

OSU has two losses Duke only has one. Duke has also been playing better as of late. OSU winning earlier in th season doesn't mean they are always ahead of Duke. Duke has a better record now.

OSU lost one game when they were without Sullinger. I agree with Madbiker...OSU absolutely curb-stomped Duke, and it wasn't even close. A healthy OSU team (and they are healthy now) is miles better than Duke right now, and they've already demonstrated that on the court.

UConn is really having a hard time moving up after their loss. Everyone in front of them loses and drops a spot or two.

It's hard to move up when you're that highly ranked. But I've had Duke that high all along, and I haven't seen anything from Mizzou that justifies them jumping Duke without a Duke loss yet. Yes they're undefeated and absolutely deserving of being in the top 5 right now. You could make the argument they should be ahead of Duke and it would be a reasonable one to make. But that's just where I have them right now.

And that's part of the fun of doing the polls. Everyone has differing views. Your point is absolutely valid and reasonable. I just don't have a lot of confidence in Ohio State. Never have. And yes they smacked Duke, but it was in Ohio. If it was at Cameron, I believe Duke wins. In a neutral court game, I believe it's very close. Therefore, I go with the better record right now.

Indiana is getting screwed in EVERY poll. 1 lost to Mich St. on the road, wins over Kentucky when they were #1 and Ohio St when they were #2! You have them 11th and both main have them 12th! I hate them as every SU fan should but they're still getting screwed!
