Projected seed: 1

Duke's strong performance this season demonstrates their potential to secure a top seed in the NCAA tournament. They’ve not only won a majority of their games, but the victories include critical matchups against quality opponents such as Arizona and Auburn, showcasing their capability to perform under pressure. While their close losses to teams like Kentucky and Kansas raise some questions about consistency, Duke’s offense and defense rankings are both impressive, indicating they can compete at a high level in both phases of the game. Their ability to dominate weaker opponents adds further weight to their case, while challenges against ranked teams and conference rivals will provide opportunities to either solidify their standing or expose weaknesses as the season progresses.
