Is Duke Over-rated?

Duke's men's basketball team lost at Clemson last week, 74-47. Blown out. Run off the court.

But, check it out. This week, the AP has Duke at #6 and Clemson at #12. The USA Today has Duke at #5 and Clemson at #11.

What?

Both teams have three losses. Duke fell at Michigan, 81-73; at Wake Forest, 70-68; and then got creamed by Clemson. The Tigers lost to Wake, 78-68; at North Carolina, 94-70; and to Florida State, 65-61.

So, why is Clemson ranked behind Duke? It wasn't like Clemson simply got lucky. Taking a team apart and winning by 27 points should mean something, shouldn't it? Hey, just asking the question.
