Three out of four ain't bad, especially when the one loss really didn't set us back at all.
Sunday's action saw Emporia State distance itself from .500 with a must-win home game against conference foe Truman State, Virginia Tech secure an equally needed home win over Miami and Washington State register its first true signature win of the season against hated instate rival Washington.
The only blemish of the day was the absolute egg Duke laid at Madison Square Garden, but the Blue Devil's RPI, overall record and command of their conference are such that the loss hardly will register in our computer profile.
