It seems like half the conference is ranked between 22 and 30 every week.matthew2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13672449714617109618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-63087451214480609312008-11-24T14:22:00.000-05:002008-11-24T14:22:00.000-05:00I'd take Duke over any other conference's cellar d...I'd take Duke over any other conference's cellar dweller.<BR/><BR/>Duke has two wins over bowl teams (Navy, Vandy), and a possible third if UVA upsets VT this weekend. Look at the bottom rung for the other conferences:<BR/><BR/>Big12, Iowa State (2-10, one of two wins vs. SD State)<BR/>Big10, Indiana (3-9, wins over Western KY and Murray State)<BR/>SEC, Arkansas (4-7, wins over Louisiana-Monroe, Western Illinois, and a 5-6 Auburn team)<BR/>BigEast, Syracuse (3-9), wins over Notre Dame and Northeastern.<BR/>PAC10, Washington (0-11)<BR/><BR/>Duke would be favorites over any of these teams, save perhaps Arky where the home team might get a point or two.BCMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259278849389650910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-3489025270161218212008-11-24T14:11:00.000-05:002008-11-24T14:11:00.000-05:00atl,You don't think Duke is an easy W for other AC...atl,<BR/><BR/>You don't think Duke is an easy W for other ACC teams?<BR/><BR/>Let me ask this differently. Would you rather play VTech every year or Duke every year. It seems as though WF gets a guaranteed conference win every season.chicagofire1871https://www.blogger.com/profile/04269226877436965435noreply@blogger.com
