Sorry Indiana, Duke is the Best Team in the Country

I'm sorry to burst your bubble Indiana fans, but come next Monday you might not be seeing a number 1 next to your name in the rankings. Why? Because of that school from North Carolina that we all know as Duke. With last night's win over Ohio State, this Duke team has now beaten the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ranked teams in the country. With those three wins alone, their resume is more impressive than that of Indiana.

I'm not taking anything away from the Hoosiers, who absolutely annihilated North Carolina on Tuesday night, but other than that win over the Tarheels, what other wins have been as impressive as Dukes? Zero. That UNC game was the first time Indiana really played anyone all year. I don't want to hear about Georgetown, Georgetown wasn't ranked and you had to go to overtime to beat them.

So far the resume of Duke trumps the resume of Indiana. Right now at this moment Duke is the best team in the country in college basketball. But you know what the beauty of college basketball is? That it's not college football. There's no computer that will be deciding who plays for the national title. The tournament in March will decide it all. But until then, Duke is the best team in the country right now. It's not even debatable.
