Really? What five teams are better than Duke this year?

Ok, after giving it some thought, maybe they are. I think they are right with Pitt.

Duke's way better than Oklahoma. The other three you mentioned may have cases, but Duke has to be considered top five.

Poll: has Davidson "done enough" to get an at-large if by some fluke they lose in the SoCon final?

It'd be close but I'd have to say yes right now- they pass the smell test and have a marquee win @ West Virginia.

Really depends how they do in conference. If they finish with 1 loss or less and then lose the championship game to Charleston they should be safe thanks to the All American and the run last year. Lose a couple in league and it gets a little more dicey. Finishing the year with one top 100 win makes it tough.

Curry's that good, but doesn't have the supporting cast he had last year..... so he's basically in the same position that Jordan was in his first few years with the Bulls..... he scores 40, but if nobody else pitches in, you lose.

unless they have a total collapse, they'll get in the NCAA's, but will not be anywhere near the danger they were to the top teams last year.

I can't flame you if you don't back up your argument with anything.
