Projected seed: 1 (automatic qualifier)

Duke’s resume is built on headline neutral-site wins over Texas, Kansas and Arkansas and a true road victory at Michigan State that show the program can beat quality opponents away from its home court. Those signature wins and a home triumph over Florida help blunt the damage from a one-possession loss at a neutral event to Texas Tech and the close defeat on the road at North Carolina. With several looming road tests at Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and NC State, plus a neutral showdown with Michigan and a home date with Virginia, the Blue Devils have multiple opportunities to erase blemishes and cement their place near the top of the bracket.
