Duke is a good squad this year, but I still don't see them as a legitimate title threat.
Still, they're better than most people rated them preseason.
I would predict a Sweet 16 finish this year.
EDIT: Frizzer, do you even WATCH Duke basketball or the ACC? If you had, you'd know that Duke has already beaten 2 top 20 teams, one of them being Marquette which was ranked #8 at the time. They beat the absolute snot out of #20 Wisconsin.
They've also beaten Illinois and Davidson, who took UNC to the wire and almost beat them.
Obviously you don't know what you're talking about if you think Duke has only played cupcakes so far.

Let me first say I am a huge Duke fan, but I will go off a limb and say they are no threat to win the championship this year. I see a whole lot of guys on Duke's team that are one dimensional. They can shoot but do nothing else. Most of the guys on this team are not the athletes that they will compete against in March when it matters. Last year look what happened to them. They went against a athletic VCU team and lost in the first round. My guess is that this team makes it to the sweet 16 and draws a bad match up and loses by 8 to 12 points. Coack K needs to recruit some more athletic kids.

Well, first "Lobo" do YOU watch ACC ball? Because, Davidson took Duke to the wire also dag-nab-it. I wouldn't call a difference of six points a blowout.
Duke looks pretty good with what they've got to work with. It'll be a toss up between them and Virginia to play the Tarheels in the ACC Tourny. As far as the NCAA goes, its a crap shoot.

Duke is always overrated so what they've won some games against quality opponents who cares I predict a second round beating by another mid major school.

Duke has beat up on inferior teams so far this year. I would be surprised if they finish in the top three in the ACC and I see them losing home and away to North Carolina.

Duke is a championship threat this year and most other years as well.

Dook is overrated. They don't have the depth to last the season, much less the tournament. A lot of the votes are based on reputation.
GO HEELS!!!!
