I don't see why the committee would even need to give Duke a pass on the injuries...They are clearly deserving of a 1-seed as it currently stands. They have four losses, to Gonzaga (1-seed), UNC (probable 2-seed), VA Tech (4-ish seed), and Syracuse (solid tourney team). They have beaten Kentucky (by 34), Texas Tech, Virginia (twice), Florida State, and Louisville. That's a 1-seed.

I suppose if they lose to UNC AND lose to say, Louisville in their first tournament game, then maybe they'll slide to the 2-line. But I don't see who would be deserving of getting in over them, except perhaps UNC.
