Duke is constantly overrated

Every year the college basketball world gets to hear about how fantastic Duke is THIS year, and that they will again be a basketball superpower, despite last year's early tournament exit. each year this cycle repeats itself, and it's bound to happen again this year. I think that Duke is consistently given unfair advantages by people who are mesmerized by them. Whenever they leave the tournament before getting to the Elite Eight, they almost never have a long distance to travel home, because they are too commonly placed right in the heart of the "Cameron Crazy" breeding grounds. they have gone to places like Tampa in 2008, and even as close as Greensboro in 2006 and Charlotte in 2007. Their unfair advantages have already begun this year. Earlier this week, Duke was named as the number 1 team because of their wins over "strong" teams like Xavier, Presbeteryan, and Rhode Island, and only one loss to unranked Michigan. Uconn on the other hand, recieved a number 2 ranking. Their only loss came to a number 8 Georgetown team, and their resume consists of wins over #21 Villanova, #22 Notre Dame, #8 at the time Gonzaga, and a solid West Virgina team. I will let you decide. Is Duke really that good?
