They aren't on the bubble...but they COULD end up there:

Duke [18-6 (5-5), RPI: 14, SOS: 4] Given the 18-3 start, the thought of Duke missing the NCAAs seems outrageous on the surface, but a quick look at the remaining schedule shows it's not impossible. Having lost three straight, the Devils still have road games left at Maryland, BC, Clemson and UNC. If they don't get any of those, they are 7-9 (at best) in ACC play. What happens if they then fall in the ACC quarters? Could the committee possibly leave out a 21-win Duke team? A lot would have to go wrong down the stretch, but this team is no longer an absolute lock to get in.
