Over at SB Nation, my post for this week's edition of bracketology is up. The highlight, or lowlight depending on your perpective, is that Duke is number one in the land, but back on the two line this time around. Simply put, with this week being such a mess, I tore things down and started all over again on Sunday, and the Blue Devils' current wins don't match up to the other contenders. However, with games against Temple and North Carolina (and Virginia Tech, even though they aren't in that class) before the ACC Tournament, and the event itself, which could lead to a third game with the Tar Heels, ahead, Duke will have opportunities to make a move over the next few weeks. Printable NCAA bracket 2012 is here.
