By almost all accounts, the Duke Blue Devils will begin the 2005-06 season as the #1 team in the nation, in both the Coaches and AP polls. This is fitting, considering they start two consensus first team All-Americans (J.J. Redick, Shelden Williams) and have one of the best, if not the best, freshman class in the nation.

It's tough being #1 and the Dookies will understand that as the season unfolds. Everyone plays their best game against the #1 team, so don't look for Dook to be #1 at the end of the year. I like UK being at #10 myself, enough ranking to be very respectable but not enough to swell the players heads too much.
