Dysalot's Ballot for Week 4 of 2014-15
Submitted on Sunday, November 30, 2014 at 5:24PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
Still the only logical #1 choice. Good win over Providence. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Looking great so far, setup for a large battle against Wisconsin. |
| 3 |
Wisconsin
|
Solid wins over Oklahoma and Georgetown. Duke is a huge game. |
| 4 |
Arizona
|
Close win over a quality San Diego St. Matchup with Gonzaga coming up. |
| 5 |
Louisville
|
Only impressive win so far is a neutral site win over Minnesota. Ohio State on Tuesday should be the first good test. |
| 6 |
Texas
|
Good win against Uconn even if it was close. |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
Loss to Butler was questionable, but turned it around against UCLA and Florida. |
| 8 |
Wichita State
|
Nothing too impressive yet, 75 points on 58 possessions is very efficient. |
| 9 |
Virginia
|
Defensively they look great (Rutgers held to 26!?), against lesser opponents. |
| 10 |
Villanova
|
Looking good with wins over VCU and Michigan. |
| 11 |
Kansas
|
Great win over Michigan State. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
No signature wins yet, but Arizona next week could change that. SMU no longer looks like a killer win. |
| 13 |
San Diego State
|
Very respectable loss to Arizona, shouldn't have needed 2OT for BYU, but so far looks good. Benefits from other losses. |
| 14 |
Ohio State
|
No good wins yet, but benefits from not losing yet. Let's see how they perform at Louisville. |
| 15 |
Iowa State
|
Neutral loss to Maryland isn't awful, but it was one of their better chances to prove themselves early. |
| 16 |
Michigan
|
Only decent win is Oregon and a close loss to Villanova. The Syracuse game will be very informative. |
| 17 |
Miami (FL)
|
Win over Florida is great, has otherwise won as needed. |
| 18 |
VCU
|
The loss to Villanova was acceptable. The loss to Old Dominion, less so. But it was a true road game. |
| 19 |
UConn
|
Tough loss to Texas, plus the loss to West Virginia, needs some help to turn around their perception. |
| 20 |
West Virginia
|
Win over UConn is looking better with their close loss to Texas. |
| 21 |
Michigan State
|
No good wins so far, missed out on a chance against Kansas. |
| 22 |
Nebraska
|
Still has the OT road loss at Rhode Island, who looks decent. This week will be the deciding factor on whether they should be ranked. |
| 23 |
UCLA
|
Would have been nice to split against Oklahoma and North Carolina |
| 24 |
Butler
|
Great wins over UCLA and Georgetown |
| 25 |
Maryland
|
Good win over Iowa State, can they beat Virginia (or keep it close)? |
