Who wants to bet that Duke will jump us?

If we were 6 and Duke 5, and did exactly what Duke did, and they did as we did, we would not pass them ... But because they are Duke, they will

...take that bet...1 and 4 lose...that moves KY to 1, OSU to 2, and 'Cuse to 3, and Duke probably to 4 or 5 depending how far NC Falls...going 6 to 3 over 'Cuse is too much of a leap

I'm not convinced we will jump UNC in the next poll.

We might have a board meltdown on Monday if the top 5 look like this:

1. UK
2. OSU
3. UNC
4. Duke
5. Syr

What's the big deal and who cares about the polls anyways? I hate Puke but I have no problem with them leapfrogging us. They have beaten some good teams. I'm not sure we could beat Belmont right now.

Unc put forth a shoddy defensive effort in their first challenge of the season. I can see a gut check for the heels with a drop to 6 in the polls and a possible 3 game Losing streak having to face Wisconsin and uk back to back. I would hate trying to have to rebound for
A loss against a bo Ryan coached team.

NC won't drop below 3 ... Duke has played tougher competition than we have ... and so what if they jump over us. UConn is going to fall below us ... I think SU will be either 4 or 5. It's only November. Duke is going to lose; OSU isgoing to lose; Kentucky is going to lose; and, SU is going to lose. Let's see where we are in March

Duke won 2 games against ranked teams while we struggled to beat two unranked teams. Beating KU will carry a lot of weight. I can see the pollsters jumping them over us. So what at this stage of season. I'm more concerned with getting our guys to play better.
