Duke unranked, only 1 game above .500 in the ACC, and losing to teams like VT. They're also only 4-6 away from home. I love it.

How long does Duke keep getting the Nike boost?  Infinity and beyond?  Or how does that work exactly?

Glad to see their and kentucky's results regressing to the mean.  

Both still landing whichever 5 star they want (mostly)

I'm rooting for Duke to fall flat on their face. Scheyer is probably a nice guy and all, but I wouldn't be upset if he led the downslide. 

He seems so entitled, and has such a "I walk on water" look to him.

I imagine it will be a while yet. Probably a few years of mediocrity for them to start to lose their sheen. Might go faster for Duke than UK since Scheyer hasn't managed to establish a reputation of putting players in the NBA yet like Calipari has (deserved or not).

Me too. I want them to crash and burn. I'm kind of hoping that it's slow enough that they don't fire Scheyer and hire a better coach for a while so that by that point they've lost a lot of the prestige built up under Coach K.

Duke’s season in miniature. Thank God K strong-armed them out of Amaker, huh? 

If Duke is not getting calls like that, then they're in trouble no matter who the coach is. It may be better for Amaker that he is not there when the karma they've earned comes back to them.

BTW, how much luster is taken off the ACC if Florida State could go 2-9 in non-conference but enter today 5-4 in the ACC?

Torvik has it as the 7th best conference, closer to 9th (WCC) than 6th (Mountain West). Sounds about right to me https://barttorvik.com/?year=2023&sort=&hteam=&t2value=&conlimit=All&state=All&conyes=1&begin=20221101&end=20230501&top=0&revquad=0&quad=5&venue=All&type=All&mingames=0#
