Duke is 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duke does not deserve to be 2 wow i hope they get rocked by davidson

Wake Forest has to beat some one to get 4

[furpal87]

Wake was the first team to win at BYU in 5 yrs. Also has won a couple of other good games, including Baylor.

Yeah, i guess your right but i dont think they can hang around with unc and duke when they play them

We'll see how good they are after those games

[darell1976]

What happened to Kansas!! From a national title to only 7 votes in the poll talk about a 180 from last year. They better do something in conference play or else they will be watching the tourny on tv with the rest of us.

They're similar to what Florida was last year - gutted by NBA defections and graduation - lost 85% of their scoring and minutes. They've played as well as could be expected this year, they blew 2nd half leads of 9 and 13 against Arizona and Syracuse which isn't atypical of a team as young as they are.

10-3 at this point is pretty good I'd say, they've got a big road test coming up at the Breslin center against Michigan St and they're far from a tournament lock (Lunardi projects them as a 9). The Big 12 North is weak this year so they should be able to get to 10 conference wins and they'll have to in order to go dancing.

That voter was hasn't came out of the hole yet. Reality eludes the voter.

[813Jag]

Florida State has a big game against Duke on the 10th. That will be a good measuring stick for the team.

[petethepenguin15]

why?

They lost to michigan by 8!

They are not better than unc just because unc lost to bc in conference

Conference games are alot tougher than out of conference

And Bc is better than michigan

Unc should be 2

Well i guess since unc was at home maybe duke had a better loss

But once Duke gets rocked my Davidson they will be out of the top 5
