Message: [QUOTE="toadfoot, post: 2637452, member: 481"] Not necessarily. I think Duke could very well be the better team. In significant OOC games Duke beat Oregon St. by 7, OSU by 9 and lost at SC by 20. Georgia in significant OOC games lost by 28 to Texas. In games against common opponents: Duke beat Virginia by 7, Georgia beat Virginia by 3. Duke lost at South Carolina by 20, Georgia lost at home to South Carolina by 12 and during the SEC tournament on a neutral floor by 22. Not a large sample size to be sure, but it suggests they're pretty comparable. The numbers at least indicate that Duke winning could not be considered an upset. 3 SEC teams have already lost, Missouri, LSU and Tennessee leaving only 4. If Duke beats Georgia, the SEC would have only 3 advance to the sweet 16. [/QUOTE]
