what story do you want to tell? Duke went 6-2 in their last 8 games, and that was the last 3 weeks. All of their last 10 games (beginning 2/15) were against tournament teams, 2 NIT, 8 NCAA. Again, please show me a team that played this schedule during this last month?

Against teams that are playing this week, they went a combined 19-5. How many teams played a schedule that had 24 games against post-season teams? I'm sorry, I forgot they had an easy road.

I still think they are a two seed, but that also means 1 is not the strech you make it out to be.

As for the ACC bias of the commitee, I wonder how they do that with representatives of all the conference. I guess the Big Ten guys really just want to see ACC teams up there. Vitale biased - absolutely. The committee biased toward one major conference - not. And this year, 12 non-majors got at large bids, so I think that the major conference bias in general is getting to be less and less.
