...but they still think Duke is the real deal.
And why shouldn't they? Duke has played solid during their 4 non-conference wins this year. The only 2 conference games they lost last year (not counting ACCCG vs National Champ FSU) were the only 2 games their starting QB Boone missed and he is back this year. Cutcliffe gets a ton of respect, and what he has done at Duke is amazing. The Duke-Miami game on Saturday will give us a lot more insight into where Duke really stands, but until then they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Of course, I fully expect us to beat both Miami and Duke, so we will continue to move up in their power rankings. But for now, I consider it reasonable for Duke to be ahead of us.
