Probably the highest legitimate ranking with a real schedule.

I was tired of being among “others receiving votes”

Towson at #21 makes no sense to me.

 
Towson had some nice wins against some good teams.  This makes the Duke's win more impressive. 

Not to minimize the win but if they play again ten times and the Dukes may not win half.  They were the better team in the conditions.  Flacco played his worst game ever partly due to the weather and partly due to a great defensive scheme.

I don't know what methodology was used to come up with these standings, but shouldn't direct head to head play trump (pardon the expression) everything else? I don't think anyone anywhere would have questioned us at #21 and Towson at #22. We went there and beat them rather soundly on their own field in the same rain that was falling on them. Just saying.....
