1hive's Ballot for Week 4 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
North Carolina
|
Every week, my preseason poll will factor in a little bit less. And so far, UNC looks like the best team in the nation. |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 3 |
Villanova
|
|
| 4 |
Kansas
|
|
| 5 |
Duke
|
|
| 6 |
Virginia
|
Austin Nichols who? The defense is as brilliant as ever, |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
Solid wins over Florida and ISU. I think both are legit so I'm counting those as two quality wins. |
| 8 |
Xavier
|
Going to be an awesome game against Baylor on the 3rd. I'm hyped! |
| 9 |
Baylor
|
|
| 10 |
Oregon
|
Turns out Baylor might be a little better than we thought |
| 11 |
Indiana
|
That loss against IPFW was concerning for sure, but I think it was more of a fluke than anything. Hats off to IPFW though, huge home win |
| 12 |
Creighton
|
Big East ain't messing around this year. Butler will be ranked a bit lower. |
| 13 |
Arizona
|
I might be higher on Arizona than most but Butler is a solid team and Arizona still looks fine. Markkanen is a monster inside. |
| 14 |
UCLA
|
No joke, I was trying to type in UCLA to rank them but I was thinking about Lonzo Ball and accidentally typed in his name |
| 15 |
Louisville
|
|
| 16 |
Purdue
|
|
| 17 |
Butler
|
Butler, please be good to boost Northwestern's RPI |
| 18 |
South Carolina
|
|
| 19 |
Wisconsin

Fifteen point loss to UNC and frankly, it should have been more |
