AP and Coaches' 2020 Polls
Duke is #1 in both the AP poll and the Coaches' poll this week.
We usually have a thread following the polls throughout the season, so I thought I'd start one up.
I noticed something very unusual, but I have yet to see it anywhere, so I guess I will be the one to point it out: I'd say that this is without a doubt the first time that any team has been ranked #1 nationally, while sitting way down in eighth place in their own conference.
Think I'll lean toward siding with Edouble here...

Maybe not in the "without a doubt" category, but rising to #1 while 8th in your conference sounds pretty rare to me. And I don't see our conference record getting any better for at least two weeks. Or more... :)
