More Duke Bias

The conventional wisdom is that Duke is overachieving with it's recent losses to graduation and early entry into the NBA draft. Hogwash! Chew on this for a minute (from Yoni Cohen):

Duke's roster includes 5 McDonald's All-Americans. Had he not been accused of rape his senior year, Shelden Williams would also have been honored as a McDonald's All-American. That gives the Blue Devils 6 All-Americans, one less than the rest of the ACC combined.

So Duke is doing just fine with more talent than anyone else.
