''For me, the preseason poll is an educated guess. I think on-court results should carry much more importance,'' said Gutmann, who covers North Carolina for the Durham Herald-Sun. ''Duke going on the road and beating a top-10 team by double digits (I had Cal at No. 4) is by far the most impressive win of the opening weekend. I think the Blue Devils deserve to be No. 1 until another team shows it is capable of a similar performance. Certainly the UConn-Stanford winner will have a strong case to be No. 1 next week.''
Umm.. really? I'm not sure what the proper response to this gibberish is...
