CentreDem's Ballot for Week 2 of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
They beat #1. Simple as that. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Beat #2. Simple as well. |
| 3 |
Louisville
|
Good conference win against Miami. |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
Loss to #2 early on shouldn't push you down too much. |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Loss to #4 shouldn't push you down too much in the rankings. |
| 6 |
Maryland
|
Didn't play anyone like Louisville did so they'll need to be bumped to make room. |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
Good win over Notre Dame + a road game win at a mid-major. |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
Win over Army is enough for me. |
| 9 |
Florida
|
Loss to FSU puts them in the bottom of the top 10. |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
Played against two cupcakes. Didn't see anything that would make them better than UNC or others yet. |
| 11 |
Seton Hall
|
Decent defeat over Wagner and Stony Brook. |
| 12 |
Virginia
|
Sloppy Syracuse win. Therefore I'll move them back a spot |
| 13 |
Texas Tech
|
When you play no body I keep you where you are unless someone in front of you moves down or up or someone behind you moves up. |
| 14 |
Oregon
|
Played good teams and won. |
| 15 |
Memphis
|
Same as Texas Tech. |
| 16 |
Utah State
|
Moved up due to Baylor. |
| 17 |
Ohio State
|
Moving up due to Baylor loss. |
| 18 |
Saint Mary's
|
Good win over Wisconsin. |
| 19 |
Xavier
|
Played no one that would prove they are a better team but they should be ahead of a team that just entered. |
| 20 |
Washington
|
Defeated Baylor in a great game. |
| 21 |
Arizona
|
Played no one of importance yet. |
| 22 |
LSU
|
Good game against Bowling Green. They played a good game against a solid MAC opponent and should move up as others fall. |
| 23 |
Baylor
|
Lost to Washington but too far in the rankings to knock them out. |
| 24 |
VCU
|
Not a great game against North Texas, but they might also be a good team. I'll give it to the LSU game to figure out VCU. |
| 25 |
Texas
|
Next 5: Colorado, Oregon State, Tennessee, Marquette, Penn State |
