billsnewera's Ballot for Week 4 of 2017-18
Submitted on Monday, November 27, 2017 at 8:52AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
|
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
30 some undefeated teams and these guys are still my #2. Have looked absolutely incredible in their two prime time games |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
I think I mentioned in my last ballot my displeasure over KU missing Feast Week action. Jayhawks play Cuse Saturday in Miami |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
This homer would've loved to see them challenged by the best in Atlantis, but Brunson and Bridges are the real deal |
| 5 |
Notre Dame
|
That game against Wichita State could be the best of the week, but it gets lost among ESPN's PK80 hysteria. Bonzie Colson for NPOY |
| 6 |
Florida
|
I will qualify my ND comment by saying I missed this double-OT thriller. Florida should be best in SEC |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
December is when it gets interesting for UK; VT, UCLA, and Louisville to round out the non-con |
| 8 |
Wichita State
|
The losers in my favorite game of the week still showed us what their ceiling looks like for this season. #9 seems right for now. |
| 9 |
Louisville
|
Two rankedish opponents (Purdue and Hall) for Louisville this week, but they're in my top ten now until they lose. |
| 10 |
Cincinnati
|
They got pushed around by Buffalo, but they were able to brave the Feast Week upsetmania |
| 11 |
USC
|
Now the heir to the throne in Pac-12 football and basketball |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
That performance against MSU to close out the PK80 was just pitiful. UNC could be quick to move up or down for me before ACC play |
| 13 |
Minnesota
|
That Bama game was certainly something. I'm going to take my notes from the first 28 minutes and tick the Gophers up a couple |
| 14 |
Texas A&M
|
Each of their six wins has come by double digits, including against West Va, USC, Oklahoma State |
| 15 |
Miami (FL)
|
They have played NOBODY. The game against Minnesota will show us where those two teams are |
| 16 |
Alabama
|
See Minnesota note, Collin Sexton can really play. Avery Johnson should be waiting and ready for a 30 for 30 |
| 17 |
Gonzaga
|
Ten days until the Villanova game, the Zags are gonna Zag. They'll lose to better teams and beat worse teams. |
| 18 |
Baylor
|
They win the Hall of Fame Classic and now are hit with Xavier and Wichita State in the same week. Still no losses |
| 19 |
West Virginia
|
Undefeated on American soil, but could be 0-2 vs the SEC in an hour or so |
| 20 |
Creighton
|
Big strides for this team, they belonged in every minute of that Baylor game |
| 21 |
UCLA
|
Ugh, fine, I'll move them up |
| 22 |
Virginia
|
The Reddit community slept on the Cavs hard |
| 23 |
Providence
|
BC to be the 11th Big East team? |
| 24 |
Xavier
|
It feels weird to not rank Arizona but I see them incurring the greatest drop in rank from one week to the next after going 0-3 in Atlantis |
| 25 |
Nevada
|
Yes, Nevada! 26 Seton Hall, 27 Mich, 28 Arizona, 29 Northwestern, 30 Arkansas, thinking about St. John's |
