Is UVA the next Duke?

Now that David Cutcliffe is leading the Blue Devils in what seems to be a pretty weak ACC, it seems like Duke is a team on an early upswing.  For those unfamiliar with Cutcliffe's history, he coached at Tennessee and Ole Miss, is an offensive mastermind and coached Peyton and Eli Manning.  Granted it's early in the year, but Duke's only loss was a close one to a currently undefeated Northwestern team and with a 3-1 record they've eliminated the chance of a fourth 10-loss season in a row.

Now for UVA, the Cavaliers have been outscored 128-20 so far this year and are about to play a Maryland team that ripped Cal at home and beat Clemson in Death Valley.  Head to head this year, Duke held UVA without a touchdown and covered the spread.  That's right...Duke was the favorite.

Maybe the jury is still out on Duke going into this weekend's matchup against Georgia Tech, but then the question is if Duke is pushing past UVA or UVA is fighting to takeover the bottom.  I think I'd put my money on Cutcliffe over Groh anyday.

Duke 0:27 Georgia Tech
Virginia 31:0 Maryland

Not the best showing after your argument. UVA gets the shutout, Duke GETS shutout. When does basketball season start for Duke?
