Duke came out of this weekend 4-0 and is currently #17 in the AP Poll and #16 in the Coaches Poll.
Obviously it’s still early and Duke’s ranking is largely because of the strong win over Clemson. However, you could argue that Clemson is having an off year, or at least it’s not starting as strongly as it usually does. You can bet that’s what SEC chauvinist Paul Finebaum is saying.
Still, Duke has done quite well. Only Northwestern has scored in double figures against the Blue Devils. You can probably disregard Lafayette and UConn in this regard, but still, the defense is showing up and doing the job.
