Several members of the national media believe the Duke Blue Devils have a solid case to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament if they can knock off Notre Dame tonight.
The Blue Devils have 8 losses this season and are just 5-3 in their last 8 games. They are currently ranked No. 14 in both major national polls.
Here are some comments from social media:
Duke is the 5-seed in the ACC, but I think they are the best team in America going into Selection Sunday.

Are people aware of how strong Duke's resume will be if it wins the ACC title tonight? Are you all prepared for a potential No. 1 seed Duke?

@NicoleAuerbach people keep fighting it for some reason … they win tonight they'd have more top 15 wins in 3 days than most have on year

It’s not about winning a league or a league tournament. It’s about a total body of work. Duke’s body of work is better than most realize. https://t.co/5AhyAXr56L

I explained, at the top of these rankings, why Duke, with a win tonight, should be considered for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. https://t.co/xUOdaFRaFH
