needaboat4's Ballot for Week 17 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Virginia
|
|
| 2 |
Duke
|
The Zion injury shows Duke's biggest weakness... The ability of their non-freshman to step up and play. Winning at Syracuse w/o Zion helps |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 4 |
North Carolina
|
Something should be said for winning in Cameron by ~18 points, but you can't ignore the "what ifs" about Zion. Still, they took advantage. |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
Winning in Crisler is no joke and MSU just did it, now all they have to do is take care of business to get a second consecutive B1G title |
| 7 |
Marquette
|
Markus Howard is so freaking good |
| 8 |
Houston
|
|
| 9 |
Tennessee
|
I still believe this team is very good, but they are sputtering against the toughest competition. |
| 10 |
LSU
|
LSU is behind Tennessee despite their win because HEAD TO HEAD ISNT EVERYTHING, also it was at LSU and they won by 2 points in OT. |
| 11 |
Michigan
|
Belein needs to fix these offensive struggles |
| 12 |
Texas Tech
|
A complete shellacking of Kansas puts them here |
| 13 |
Purdue
|
|
| 14 |
Maryland
|
|
| 15 |
Nevada
|
|
| 16 |
Kansas
|
Starting here I have to start coming up with BS reasons to put teams places cos 15-25 played like shit last week. |
| 17 |
Florida State
|
They lost to a higher ranked team, not that big of a deal. |
| 18 |
Iowa
|
1-1 this week, better than most teams around here |
