A not-so-serious but still effective Duke player power ranking

No team since the 2014-15 Kentucky squad that won its first 38 games (before losing to Wisconsin in the Final Four) has generated anything close to the buzz that's followed this season's Duke Blue Devils.

Yes, they suffered a puzzling loss to Syracuse last week, but rebounded by handing Virginia its first loss of the season over the weekend. An early-season loss to Gonzaga was smoothed over with wins against Auburn, Texas Tech and Florida State. Next up for the Blue Devils is a road trip to Pittsburgh on Tuesday, where the squad faces off against former associate head coach Jeff Capel, who played a key role in recruiting Duke's top-rated class.
