Today is not the first of April. And this is not a joke: the Duke football team is No. 1 in the country — in not one, but two different polls.
Pause for readers to snap out of their collective state of shock.
Now, keep in mind that the Blue Devils do not appear in either the Amway Coaches Poll or the Associated Press Top 25 (they are, however, ranked No. 27 and No. 28, respectively, in those two polls based on received votes).
That being said, opinions determine votes; formulas determine the Loudsound College Football Rankings and the Hatch Rankings.
