Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2059803, member: 1969"] I hate to be the bearer of bad news, because I wish Duke would miss the tourney. And this will sound crazy but. As absurd as this sounds, Duke is a lock to get in with a 6-12 record in the ACC (and that is not just because they are Duke). - At 6-12 their RPI is projected at #50. - They would likely have no bad losses (Hard to get bad losses in the ACC this year when there may only be one bad team). - They already have 5 top 50 wins (4 of which are on road/neutral courts) - They already have 9 top 100 wins, 5 road/neutral. Most bubble teams will not approach those quality win totals, much less on road/neutral courts, and almost all will have at least one sub 100 less, and many 2. So at 6-12 in the ACC, they hit all the good criteria, and have no warts. It's a lock. [/QUOTE]
