Duke manhandled G-town on saturday.The Hoyas are too young to be a serious threat to anyone.They might win some big games but down the stretch they will struggle with having freshman at center and point guard.
Wake should be #1 and Duke #2 simply because they are undefeated in the same conference.The ACC is easily the best conference this year.A lot of people say the Big East because of all the teams they have in the top 25 but none of those teams could beat the top 3 in the ACC.There are a lot of overrated teams in the Big East like Syracuse.

Of course, Wall is the top uncommitted recruit. Self had to know I was a reporter and even said hello to me.
I just thought he'd stand there, maybe even wave to Wall to let him know he was there. Instead, when the Holy Rams poured out of the locker room, Self was excited:
Self: "Johnny, great win man. You really played well."
Wall: "Thanks."
Self: "I'm not supposed to be talking to you, and you know that, but I just wanted to tell you that was a great win."
Then Self vanished.
I called Missouri State NCAA compliance officer Kyle Yates, curious of Self's behavior. Yates insisted what Self did was wrong, but not unique, as I suspected.
Quote:
Self agrees that he said hello to John Wall, a 6-foot-4 guard who had just played in a high school tournament in Springfield, Mo. It happened during an evaluation period last week when college coaches are not allowed contact with prospects other than to exchange greetings.
"We are aware of the report, and the administration is looking into it," said Chris Theisen, a Kansas spokesman.
Wall is rated the No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2009 by Rivals.com. The Springfield News-Leader said the exchange took place between Self and Wall outside Wall's locker room after a game Thursday night.
"Basically, it's accurate," Self said after beating Texas A&M 73-53 Monday night. "I don't know if the exact quote is accurate. After the game was over, like I always do, like every coach always does, I had to catch a plane. So I went back to tell the coaches, `Congratulations, good win.' I was approached and shook a hand and said, `I can't talk to you, but you played really well."'
Kansas is in the final year of a three-year NCAA probation for violations in football and men's basketball.
"If that exchange, which is all it was, is a problem, then our administration will deal with it," Self said. "I certainly by no means am I going to deny that basically that happened. But the reason I was back in the back was to say hi to the coaches after the game."
The question is whether the NCAA would consider Self and Wall's exchange as contact.
