Snasty728's Ballot for Week 4 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |

| 1 |
Duke
|
+0 from my poll last week, expect to see some movement and a lot of new teams this week. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
+0 |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
+3, the PK80 was proof that MSU's value isn't lowered by a loss to #1 in the nation. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
+1, solid performance in Atlantis. Would've loved to see how they compared to Arizona and Purdue, but they still looked good. |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
-1 |
| 6 |
Texas A&M
|
+1, their win over USC is yet another example of why I had the Aggies so high off the bat. |
| 7 |
Miami (FL)
|
+1 |
| 8 |
Florida
|
+2, even with their loss to Duke, Florida has proven themselves as a top team with wins over Gonzaga and Stanford in the PK80. |
| 9 |
Kentucky
|
+0 |
| 10 |
West Virginia
|
+1 |
| 11 |
Cincinnati
|
+1 |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
+1, as I explained last week, losing once to a great team doesn't mean you have to move down. |
| 13 |
UCLA
|
+1, see above |
| 14 |
Notre Dame
|
+4, impressive showing in Maui, excited to see how they fair Thursday in Lansing. |
| 15 |
Wichita State
|
+0 |
| 16 |
Louisville
|
+0 |
| 17 |
Virginia
|
+4, 72 points allowed in the last 2 games against formidable opponents? You can't claim bias to that. |
| 18 |
Baylor
|
+4 |
| 19 |
USC
|
-2, not even much of a punishment for their loss to A&M, it's just that UVA and Baylor have been on a roll. |
| 20 |
Alabama
|
+3, if they had a full squad against Minnesota, they would've came back and won. |
| 21 |
Minnesota
|
+3, with that being said, Minnesota looks like a solid team and I think they're going to give Miami a fight on Wednesday. |
| 22 |
Nevada
|
NEW, things started to get tough from here, but I know one thing for sure: Nevada is going to make some serious noise this year. |
| 23 |
Creighton
|
NEW, so it was either a win over my #14 and a loss to my #18, or a loss to my #21 but some other convincing wins. |
| 24 |
Providence
|
NEW, ultimately, I chose the former over the latter, as you can see. |
| 25 |
Arkansas
|
NEW, Next 12: Purdue, Arizona State, UNLV, Illinois, Arizona, Xavier, Seton Hall, Wazzu, Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, and Temple. |
