Main Poll Voters

User Rank Reason
ToeInDigDeep 1 Tulane and Illinois are two wins that already look very good and will be even more impressive by the end of the year. Blue Devils decidedly have the two best wins in the country right now.

ColombianInIowa24 3 19.78 - I swear I did not cook any homer bias in the poll, but the Monte Carlo loves them anyway. Model is confident in ranked status.
Hey_Its_Roomie 5 2-0, cumulative opponents' win percentage against other teams is 100%,

Pyromania1983 21 Last week, I said I would keep Duke in the poll for as long as they gave me reason not to keep them in it. I put them in my poll after a big conference championship win last year and Sun Bowl victory. They ended up showing a ton of resilience and took down a pretty good Illinois team to start 2-0 this year. On this issue, I must quote Joker in the Dark Knight: "I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve."

quantum_jedi 3 (38.78) Two solid wins for Duke, including Illinois on the road, give the Blue Devils one of the better early season resumes. A couple "easy" games ahead and Duke should head into the BYE week undefeated before the schedule difficulty ramps up again.
