Duke gets the full benefit of the doubt. Kansas too. I think those are the only 2 w/ UNC and UK slipping. I think if we have a wire to wire top 10 season we will continue to get more and more of the benefit of the doubt.

And I do think there is a pretty decent chance Duke’s talent is overrated. So much of their hype is predicated on a hot shooting stretch down the stretch by Proctor and  the assumption is that he will become an All American level player. Not sure I buy that. Also their roster construction doesn’t fit nearly as well as ours. Flip has his limitations and they don’t look like they will be good at rim protection or rebounding. They have 4 similarly sized high IQ guards, none exactly electric or special at getting to the rim as far as I can tell. No absolute snipers. Maybe McCain? And 2 super athletic but raw 4s. I know I am being swayed my my Duke hatred but I don’t think they are a sure fire top 10 team throughout the season unless their very yoingguards are absolute studs.
