Seriously! How many losses in a row would it take for dUKe to drop out of the top 25?!?!?

4...5...8? This is ridiculous! You drop 3 in a row with two being at home and you should drop out of the top 25. UK most certainly would have dropped losing three in a row. The SEC may not have the best TEAMS, but one thing is for certain and that is most of the SEC is very athletic. That's what UK faces night in and night out. ATHLETES!
 
They are protected. It's just the way it is. Hell, put them in our type of bracket every year and K goes from 5 titles to 2 or 3 for sure. I don't expect Duke fans to get it, but everyone else seems to.

Remember? Your region depends on where you're located, unless you're Duke. Special consideration for UNC. It's the world we live in.

They don't earn what they get. We do. It's why we are the king.
 
When it comes to the dook basketball team there are no numbers after 25 when it comes to their rankings.

If Duke drops out of the top 25, they start back again at 1, in an infinite loop.

Ever seen the Tom Cruise movie, "Day After Tomorrow"? That's what K does: he has the power to re-set the day. If he ever sees Duke dropped out of the polls, he just intentionally dies so he can re-set. I know this sounds far-fetched but you have to believe me.

Honestly, look at the NCAA tournament brackets from last year. We had the Big 12 and ACC champ in our region. Way to treat the overall #1. Not to mention had the Big 10 and Pac-12 champs to possibly go through if we could have made the championship.
Duke had the likes of Gonzaga etc. pure bull
 
I don't think even Duke fans expected to remain in the top 25. This isn't on Duke as much as it is the hack AP voters. Those ass clowns need to be called out by the media. Unfortunately, the media are complicit depending on the team.
 
Kansas, still in the top 5 with 3 losses, I thank if Duke did not win another game all yr they would still be in the top 25..

we did play the big10 champ wisconsin.
 
Honestly, Duke staying in the top 25 helps our strength of schedule more than anything. I love more than anything when Duke and UofL lose, but right now it's just making us look worse. Hope there are some more opportunities for quality wins throughout the rest of the season. Even IF we beat Kansas, their losses are going to start coming in the heart of conference play and that win won't be a "huge" win, I guess you can say. Just don't want to get screwed by the tournament committee. I can imagine them putting us as a 5 seed on the other side of the country. Never seem to have a lucky draw.
 
they are too afraid of dropping Duke from the rankings because when Jefferson gets back, they'll be a top 5 team. I mean after all ESPN didn't spend 4 billion splicing Chuck Norris's DNA with Jefferson's for nothing

They might suspend the poll til Jefferson comes back, then dook = top ten . .. or until K's back pain gets better .
