Duke taking out a top 12 team in the country by 26 points and only allowing 51 in the process.
This was a manhandling in many levels.
And Jason, I think we were going to talk about this.
This team is doing stuff that we haven't seen before.
Even last year's team, if you look at Ken Palm, as great a vaunted team as that was in the Ken Palm ratings, this team is now higher this morning than that, which is simply remarkable.
You know what's funny, Jason?
If you look at the numbers, right, and you kind of get to where the zero mark would be, that mid-major team you're talking about is Georgia Tech.
So take that how you will.
But, yeah, Georgia Tech and Cornell are like the midpoint here in the Kempop ratings.
And, yeah, I think all of it is valid, but โ
Whatever you think about them, we're watching a historic team here, and it's very fun to watch.
I think, one, a tremendous accomplishment to do it with only, to this point, just a couple of losses is remarkable.
And more importantly, Jason, we get the number one seed in the ACC tournament.
So one thing to note about that is...
Traditionally, Jason, the number one seed plays that first game on Thursday and you get the 12 noon slot.
So everyone's like trying to figure out how to get out of work.
Not this year.
ESPN has basically said after all the games are done, they're going to reorder and reschedule everything.
So look for Duke to have a primetime game most likely on that Thursday slot, whether it be seven or nine.
But again, I think it's just a tremendous accomplishment to get the double bye and then secure the one seed.
