Shocker alert! Team without its best player doesn’t look as good who would’ve thunk it
The ACC 🚨
It’s hard to call a conference overrated after just ONE week, but the ACC had about as rough a start as you could possibly have for a Power conference.
North Carolina: 0-2 in blowouts
Duke: Looked shaky without Toby
NC State: Fell to the SEC’s preseason No. 7 team
Notre Dame is the only real bright spot and they haven’t exactly been tested either.
It’s still early, but the self-proclaimed best conference in the country hasn't looked good 👀
Obviously Duke controls its destiny, but other ACC matchups to watch in the final weeks:
Week 11: Wake-SMU, Louisville-UNC
Week 12: Pitt-Louisville
Week 13: Virginia-Virginia Tech, Pitt-Cal
(Pretty much any matchups with those teams)
Anywhere from spots 1-11 are on the table
Current Bowl projections for @DukeFOOTBALL:
SI: Pinstripe vs. Iowa
CBS: Duke's Mayo vs. Northwestern
Athlon: Pinstripe vs. Northwestern

Duke women's soccer defeats Wake in overtime.
5-goal second half for the Blue Devils.
EXACTLY what they needed. Now for a rematch with North Carolina Thursday.
Former four-year starter at Duke from 2006-09
Blue Devils won their season opener at USC this season, 3-1.
USC and women's soccer head coach Jane Alukonis are parting ways after five seasons, the University announced on Friday, November 6. A national search for the program's next head coach will begin immediately.

Duke WBB’s Sunday game against North Texas in The Foundry Classic has been canceled “due to circumstances beyond the control of the participating institutions”
Florida Atlantic is the new opponent, 1 p.m. tip in Boca Raton. Owls went 14-18 last season
0-0 draw.
Duke moves down a spot in RPI to No. 15.
Gonna need at least two wins in the conference tournament
An ACC champ appearance would push Duke back to top-2 seed range, way up from current projected 4 line in UNC's region.
But UVA is hot, Duke is not... FH already bottomed out, will WSOC do the same?

113 points tonight is the most for Duke inside Cameron Indoor Stadium since a 113-49 victory over Stetson on Dec. 1, 2018
RJ Barrett had 26 and Cam Reddish had 23 that night
61-point win tonight is the largest margin of victory under Jon Scheyer

I did the ESPN blind resume ranking and came up with this. Pretty fun.

Some WSOC thoughts:
Duke needs a point against UVA tomorrow to solidify a top-six ACC finish and spot in the conference tourney.
UNC/ND will likely power past LVille/Miami to aim for top seed, leaving a Stanford win over BC as the only potential spoiler

So +3 for Stanford and Duke draw pushes both to 16, Duke has tiebreaker.
May be in Duke's best interest to draw and secure the 6-seed and face Wake, then ND and UNC in the final... but the way it's played in the back third, not sure what control they have over anything

Vegas has Blue Devils -42.5, 100% chance win prob. per EvanMiya...

Capped an epic day in the Sunflower State with "Bill Self Pasta", shells with buffalo sauce and chicken strips. Straight fire.
Still reeling from Allen Fieldhouse. Think that "Fighting Jayhawk" fight song is gonna be stuck in my head for a while

Bill Self called it "A pretty damn good exhibition game"
Doubt anyone disagrees. Duke finishes unbeaten in the games that don't count — but today's win counts for plenty.
