Yesterday, we told you that Jeff Goodman is the only writer at ESPN that has Duke ranked ahead of Kentucky this week.
As you might imagine, the Big Blue Nation went to battle with Goodman on Twitter.
Goodman explained his reasoning in a series of Tweets:
Duke and Kentucky are 1A and 1B right now. I went with Duke at No. 1 this week because feel Blue Devils resume a little more impressive.

Duke’s win at Wiscy more impressive than UK neutral-court win against Kansas. Duke’s neutral over Michigan St even to UK home win vs. UT.

Then Duke has beaten Stanford and Temple on a neutral court while Kentucky beat a Providence team that has lost to BC and Brown at home.

I know UK fans. I’m a hater. I’ve only ranked ‘Cats No. 1 in preseason and for the first three weeks of year. Duke win at Wiscy difference.

Are you buying Goodman’s explanation or do you feel he is just trying to stir the Big Blue pot?
