I was surprised that nobody mentioned this, but Duke played all their tougher ACC games were at home. This is Massey Rating's, and you can see they played their toughest conference games in Durham, and their easier games away. I felt pretty good going into yesterday's game as I feel VT's schedule was as hard as Duke's despite the RPI - and we beat some really good teams away from Blacksburg. 14 HOME Virginia Tech 20 HOME Stanford 27 HOME Clemson 36 HOME Virginia 38 AWAY North Carolina 43 AWAY Georgia Tech 90 AWAY California 157 AWAY Boston College
