Senior_Chang's Ballot for Week 20 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
So this week's rankings come with the tournament field being announced, so they don't matter as much. |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
I think this might be a little more of a power rankings approach rather than resume based (but of course both are taken into account) |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
Healthy Zion has returned for Duke and looked dominant. They have to be seen as 1 with him |
| 4 |
North Carolina
|
Virginia also has a quite good argument for 1- incredible efficiency metrics, possibly highest KenPom going into tourney ever? |
| 5 |
Tennessee
|
UNC very proven |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
Tennessee starts this group of 4, who would be my 2 seeds |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
MSU looking good, winning the conference reg season and tourney. Tough loss of Ahrens, could be a rallying point? |
| 8 |
Michigan
|
Not much to say about UK. Michigan looks very good defensively but seems to have an offensive lapse in big games |
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
Tough out in conference tourney, but body of work and defense are impressive |
| 10 |
Houston
|
|
