This version of the Zags isn’t as talented as some of their recent teams. Now, I don’t know a lot about their conference this year and whether or not any teams are tournament-caliber, either. I’d think there’s a better chance they lose a conference game this season....but we’ll see.

I know anyone can lose any game.. but Gonzaga doesn’t have any top 25 games remaining on their schedule..

Only 9 of their 17 remaining games are against teams that have a record above .500 - and it’s safe to say any team below .500 at this point (since conference play hasn’t really started) is a pretty bad team..

17 of Duke’s remaining 19 games are against teams that are above .500 — the 2 teams we play that aren’t above .500 are 5-5 and 4-5..

I don’t really care about #1 ranking too much, but it sucks that a team like Gonzaga can end the season as the top team even though they will be playing a much weaker schedule than the other top 4 teams.

Guess you can say they are lucky it's not the football schedule. They would surely drop out of the top 5 with that schedule.
