For the first time since 1961, Kentucky, Duke, and North Carolina are all not ranked. Smile about that a little bit. 2020 and 2021 so far have served up some wild stuff, but that sentence almost redeems it. Kentucky, Duke, and North Carolina are all not ranked.

In short, they are the emperor sans clothes.
