And it's against mine to go against them. I don't always think they are that good (I don't think they are a top 5 team this year) but I never root against them.

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

UNC
UConn
Oklahoma

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.
