I am. Year in and year out, Duke is always in the top 25 as far as ranking is concerned. Even when there are schools that deserve to be in the rankings more than them, the voters still do what they can to place them there. And is it just me or does Duke seem to play almost ALL their games at home. They might have a few road games, but every year it seems a majority of their games are played at home. No wonder their records are always favorable. You got practically home field every regular season and voters who are blind that vote you in the rankings just cuz you're Duke. Talent in this year's NCAA schools is deep so Duke will only get crushed come time to play teams like the Aggies and Tarheels!

No, not really happy they are out of the top 25 but yes they are having a let down year which is unusual. They have been overrated all year and now it is showing. They played above their heads so to speak against UNC. UNC is the team to beat in the ACC and possibly the nation. Roy will have his guys primed by tournament time. For Duke, they will start to gell next season.

Overjoyed.
I think almost every non-Dukie in the country hates them, not just UNC fans (Syracuse is my team). It seems like the pollsters do everything they can to give Duke the benefit of the doubt and keep them highly ranked, except when it finally gets too embarassing (how many games in a row did they have to lose to finally get tossed out?). Not to mention all of those times they basically got home games through the early rounds of the tournament.
Not to mention the foul-calling bias (it is real regardless of what Coach K says).

You can't be much of a fan of college ball if you enjoy seeing a team out of the top 25. You can't possibly say that some of these teams in the top 25 are better then duke.

I am very happy Duke is gone. Hopefully this year, we won't have to see Coach K's credit card ads. They'll make the tournament this year, but I hope they lose in the first round.

Yes, I am very happy. Shocked, but happy. I grow weary of seeing the same schools in the Top 25 and welcome new faces to the college basketball elite.

I don't really care about Duke one way or another.

Overrated with a Coach who cares more about his program than his players. He bashes them when they leave early for the NBA.
Go Heels. Coach Smith, Gut, and Williams are all class.
