CentreDem's Ballot for Week 3 of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
They move up after Kentucky's blunder. |
| 2 |
Louisville
|
Good wins and no upsets (yet). |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
The Seton Hall win has redeemed MSU in my eyes (for now). |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
Two solid wins after the early acceptable loss moves them up. |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
A P5 win plus good wins against weaker opponents moves them up. |
| 6 |
Maryland
|
Good wins and they are 3-0. I'll move Maryland up. |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
I am willing to count the Evansville loss as an anomaly, I'll move them down to #7 at the moment. |
| 8 |
Gonzaga
|
Great win at Texas A&M moves them up but Kentucky's fall must end somewhere. |
| 9 |
Virginia
|
Virginia moves into the Top 10 for me as they ready for a match-up against a surging Vermont team. |
| 10 |
Oregon
|
Great victory over Memphis! They move into the Top 10. |
| 11 |
Ohio State
|
Ohio State blew Villanova out at home and sent them back to Bryn Mawr packing. They sit just outside the top 10. |
| 12 |
Texas Tech
|
Texas Tech will stay outside of the top 10. They move up but have played no one of importance yet. |
| 13 |
Arizona
|
Arizona moves up quickly with many other teams dropping or playing a weaker schedule. |
| 14 |
Villanova
|
A loss to OSU won't push them back too much, but they will fall in my book. |
| 15 |
Utah State
|
Utah State hasn't played anyone. Until they play St. Mary's or LSU we really don't know anything about them yet. |
| 16 |
Seton Hall
|
A close loss to MSU will not drop them too far from where they sat in the rankings. |
| 17 |
Memphis
|
Losing to Oregon is not bad, but they can't afford to lose too many games before conference play begins. |
| 18 |
Xavier
|
Good wins but losses ahead of them doesn't allow them to move up too much. |
| 19 |
VCU
|
Beating LSU gets you higher! |
| 20 |
Texas
|
Several losses ahead of them moves them up. Their Purdue win is still impressive in my book. |
| 21 |
Florida
|
Losing to a team that got blown out by St. Joseph's. That can sink you in the rankings. |
| 22 |
Baylor
|
The Washington loss now isn't as special. They move up slightly. |
| 23 |
Evansville
|
They move into the rankings and will represent the MVC for the first time in a few years in the rankings after the Kentucky win. |
| 24 |
Colorado
|
Good wins so far, but only 2 games. This doesn't tell me too much. |
| 25 |
Tennessee
|
Next 5: Penn State, LSU, Purdue, Utah, Vermont |
