strongscience62's Ballot for Week 3 of 2015-16| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Maryland
|
I'm not going to move my #1 team down without a loss. |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
I don't think Duke is the #5 team, but it was still a good win. |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
I liked this team a lot last week and they gave me no reason not to this week. |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
They've looked very good in every game so far. |
| 5 |
Iowa State
|
Moving up by virtue of not losing. Still haven't watched them this year. |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
No Marcus Paige, so this loss is an asterisk. Outside shooting is a problem right now. |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
Some possible chinks in the pack line armor? GW is a good team, but it was still a disappointing loss. |
| 8 |
Oklahoma
|
They looked OK against Memphis. |
| 9 |
Kansas
|
Tough loss and still no Diallo. They should bounce back. |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
Blowing out cupcakes is fine, but other teams had better wins |
| 11 |
Indiana
|
Blew out Creighton. Is Creighton any good? |
| 12 |
Duke
|
Tough loss vs Kentucky and some close ones with VCU and Georgetown. Grayson Allen critically important to this team. |
| 13 |
Wichita State
|
The farthest faller in my rankings. No good reason to drop a game @Tulsa, but things happen. |
| 14 |
California
|
Holding steady. |
| 15 |
Arizona
|
Zeusing steady. |
| 16 |
UConn
|
Big test coming this week vs Michigan. |
| 17 |
Miami (FL)
|
Jumping onto the rankings with blowout wins against Butler, Utah, and MSST. |
| 18 |
Notre Dame
|
Close call with Milwaukee, but got the W. |
| 19 |
Purdue
|
In a dog fight with Florida, but they have the look of a top 20 team. |
| 20 |
SMU
|
Nice win at Stanford. Shot a lot of long '2s though. |
| 21 |
Cincinnati
|
Blowing out cupcakes. |
| 22 |
West Virginia
|
Handling outmatched early season competition. |
| 23 |
Butler
|
Some good and bad this week. Miami team is no joke. |
| 24 |
Oregon
|
Baylor was a very good early season win. It was between Oregon and Xavier for this spot. |
| 25 |
Providence
|
Good wins against Harvard and Illinois, but Illinois is playing with a decimated roster. |
