I disagree. It is extremely inappropriate that Duke is ranked.
I have a bias against private schools.
I have a bias against religious institutions.
I generally root against teams that "win too much"
by all reasoning, I should hate Duke. I've tried to, but I fail.
I have incredible respect for Krzyzewski.
Their fans are decent people who love hoops (they have no football fans).
And an old boss of mine (an NC State guy, actually) made the comment about Cameron Indoor and Duke's campus: "there is 'old and outdated' and then there is 'old and venerable'. I don't understand what makes one thing fall into the former or the latter as it ages, but Duke has managed to be 'venerable'"
