No. 9: Duke Blue Devils
Duke has been a hard team to play against throughout the ACC this season, but that doesn't mean that teams haven't been able to beat them. It's a tough team to play against in the ACC this season, but that doesn't mean teams haven't been able to beat them.
After starting half the season on a good note, Duke has suffered some major losses to UCONN and Virginia in the past two weeks, after finally getting back in the win column over UNC yesterday. Duke has just been another team that has had trouble with consistency this season.
No. 8: Louisville Cardinals
The Louisville Cardinals have certainly fallen from grace in the past three weeks, and that is an understatement. Louisville has lost to Cal, Clemson, and SMU in the past three weeks, with each loss seemingly worse than the last.
Not that the teams Louisville is playing are inherently bad, but the Cardinals have been playing worse in each consecutive game. None worse than the 38-6 loss to SMU yesterday afternoon. Louisville had an outside chance at the ACC championship and a possible playoff berth to play for a couple of weeks ago, but it's all been washed down the drain with their horrid play.
