February 4, 201412 yr Calling it a joke sure makes it seem like one is upset. I'm not "upset". I could care less but doesn't make a lot of sense for them to drop 7 spots while other teams stay the same or drop 2 spots.
February 4, 201412 yr That Duke loss was their most impressive performance of the season....I don't believe that you have to drop if you lose. So I guess that is what you call a good loss?
February 4, 201412 yr I agree, but to jump up 6 spots..... Kind of what I'm thinking. I have no problem with Duke moving up despite losing. Six spots seems a little much though. I like what I'm seeing from Duke & they are really fun to watch on offense. But they still can't guard anybody, which is why I don't see them as a top title contender.

With that loss, which wasn't a bad one, I still don't see moving up 6 yes 6 spots. That really shocked me. I they keep playing they way they are, I could see them in the final 4.
February 4, 201412 yr How much, if any, weight is given to these rankings by the selection committee? Aren't these rankings somehow factored into the RPI rankings?
February 4, 201412 yr If Duke can keep it close against Wake tonight they should crack the top 10 next week. I have no problem with a team moving up after a loss. 6 spots seems a little excessive though.

February 5, 201412 yr Did anyone really think they were the 17th best team in the land? Come on now.... Nope. Duke has a great team. Polls are primarily based on wins and losses. Does anyone really belive Arizona is the second best team in the nation without Ashley ? Duke went on the road and took a great Syracuse team into OT. It's as impressive as a loss can be. Again, 6 spots just seems a little much.
