    I may be an alum, but you are hosing Duke. Come on, Indiana? Really? They are double digits on RPI (Duke is #1) and they have the same number of losses (Indiana has one more win).

    This is what is wrong with the polls. Everyone shows how smart they are by following the crowd. There is no accountability, and people only consider who lost in the last week.
