The latest from the biggest dookie Seth Davis:
You might also be surprised to see Duke hanging around in the top 16, but remember, the Blue Devils handed Air Force its only loss and also beat Georgetown, Indiana and Gonzaga. Overall, they have the fifth-rated strength of schedule in the country, including 10th in the non-conference.
The top teams left out of my Sweet 16 are Kentucky (No. 5 in the RPI), Clemson (7), Memphis (11), Alabama (12), Missouri State (19) and Indiana (20). Ironically, Alabama does not get credit for having any top-50 wins because right now LSU is ranked 51st. But as conference season goes on, all of the SEC teams are going to rise, so you can expect both 'Bama and LSU to rise along with it.
Just pay no attention to those ugly losses. No surprise that he rates dUKe over UK but it is shocking that he did not callMiami a big win.
