Ludicrous considering the head to head and the fact they already have 2 losses.

I get teams that don’t lose that week tend to move up more, but I feel pretty safe in saying that no other team besides Duke would have passed us given this exact scenario.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I mean who is actually surprised??? Duke would have to lose 5 straight to fall out of top 25 but they only need a quality win to catapult 15 teams. No bias or anything, lol

Of course they will. There will undoubtedly be a night when they're off, or the other team is crazy hot, or the refs swing the game, etc. It's insanely difficult for teams to go undefeated in their entire conference play

Just curious, but which Duke game did the refs swing against them?

Like it or not, maybe the better word would be appreciate it or not, Jay Williams explained it to us. They are going to promote Cooper Flagg all season he is the face of college basketball this season, they will give Duke every advantage they can to a higher seed and better opportunity to go deep in Tourney, and that is not sour grapes just the cold hard facts. UL had them on the ropes last night and couldn't hold they will have to lose some easy games to slide, don't see that in the cards.

So now its not just ESPN promoting Flagg but the AP pollsters as well?

Sounds reasonable.

Duke graduates many many future media persons. It is hard to combat their ever growing presence.

My guess is if you asked them they would say it is because of the current injuries we have. We all know it is just bias.
