Championship Week Rankings

The Top-25 polls came out yesterday, and both have Duke at 21. I'm a bit surprised. Two bad showings in one week, granted against two very good teams, I thought they might be flirting with leaving at least one of the polls. Glad they didn't though. It should be noted, however, that anywhere between 2 and 20 votes separate teams of different ranks, but Duke is 73 points behind Maryland at 20th. Here's the USA Today/ESPN poll. Go Duke.
