rickym24's Ballot for Week 3 of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Louisville
|
(+1) Welcome to the top, don't let me down |
| 2 |
Duke
|
(+1) Struggled a bit with Georgia State but turned it on in the 2nd half. Should have no issues beating Cal |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
(+1) Great win @Seton Hall last week. Probably the easiest week left on their schedule coming up |
| 4 |
Gonzaga
|
(+2) Jumping them over Kansas for now, I dont think aTm is going to be all that good but a 30 point road win is a 30 point road win |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
(-) Nothing much going on this week. Nice dunk by that Monmouth kid though |
| 6 |
Virginia
|
(+3) They jump UNC for me. Lost so much talent but god damn does Tonyball work wonders |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
(-6) I'm going to chalk the Evansville loss to a classic case of looking past an opponent after a big game.. but the poor areas need fixing |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
(-1) Cole Anthony is really good. Need to get healthy and secondary options need to step up w/o Cole on the court badly |
| 9 |
Ohio State
|
(+3) Might be the best performance of any team all year. I think they played near perfectly so I'm not gonna go too crazy but a small bump |
| 10 |
Maryland
|
(-) Not much going on, still coached by Mark Turgeon so that's a negative |
| 11 |
Texas Tech
|
(-) Not much going on, still coached by Chris Beard so that's a positive |
| 12 |
Seton Hall
|
(+2) Good showing against MSU, was a very winnable game. Bounced back with a nice blowout on the road @Saint Louis |
| 13 |
Oregon
|
(+3) Nice win against Memphis with Wiseman in a pseudo home game |
| 14 |
Memphis
|
(+1) They gain a spot even with the loss because of Florida and Nova forgetting how to basketball. Wiseman's suspension is make or break |
| 15 |
Arizona
|
(+4) Love the freshman trio of Mannion, Green, and Nnaji... wish the latter two would have came to UNC :( |
| 16 |
Villanova
|
(-8) That was quite the beating they took, but it was also a damn near perfect game from OSU. Still a believer in Nova |
| 17 |
Baylor
|
(+1) Not much going on, I think UW losing big to Tennessee confirms my thoughts that even with the loss they were the better team (for now) |
| 18 |
Utah State
|
(+3) They are playing some terrible teams but absolutely destroying them so that's nice to see |
| 19 |
VCU
|
(+6) Big win over former coach Will Wade. Love the FBI showing up for it too |
| 20 |
Tennessee
|
(NR) Kind of dominated a UW team I was maybe a lil too quick to jump up a tier... These last 5 are all really close for me |
| 21 |
Auburn
|
(-1) Would like to see the road game at South Alabama not come down to the last shot but hey, this is college basketball |
| 22 |
Xavier
|
(-) Not super inspiring performances this week at home but 2 wins nonetheless |
| 23 |
Washington
|
(-6) Think I was just too quick to jump them up after the late surge against Baylor. I think they are a better fit somewhere in this tier rn |
| 24 |
Texas
|
(NR) Welcome to the poll Shaka (OUT - Florida, St. Mary's) (Next 5 - Colorado, LSU, Florida, Arkansas, Michigan) |
| 25 |
Florida State
|
(-1) Dropping them for being down by double digits to Western Carolina. Seems like it's going to be a rollercoaster year |
