CentreDem's Ballot for Week 4 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
Duke has simply not been defeated yet and has been the #1 team in the country. It's hard to say they shouldn't remain #1 w/ comp defeated. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
They didn't lose and played well this week! |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
They didn't lose to any bad teams yet and they deserve a chance to climb back to the #2 spot, slowly. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
They did well this week, no problem letting them climb. |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
They are almost back to where they started. |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
They did well this week, no problem letting them climb. But I think they lose to MSU |
| 7 |
Florida
|
They could be the best team in the SEC right now. |
| 8 |
Miami (FL)
|
Played very well, can't wait to see the Minnesota matchup next week. |
| 9 |
Notre Dame
|
They defeated a top 10 team, therefore they should slide into the top 10. |
| 10 |
Cincinnati
|
Keep on climbing. |
| 11 |
Minnesota
|
They also get to keep on climbing. |
| 12 |
Texas A&M
|
Haven't lost and have played BIG12/B1G teams and they defeated USC. |
| 13 |
USC
|
They lost but to a rising team, which cushions the blow. Slightly. |
| 14 |
Wichita State
|
They lost and need to earn their way back to the top. |
| 15 |
Louisville
|
Some big jumps after losses from other teams. |
| 16 |
Baylor
|
Some big jumps after losses from other teams. |
| 17 |
West Virginia
|
Almost gets back to where they were in the preseason solely because they have done well since. |
| 18 |
Gonzaga

Lost to a ranked team in the top 10. It won't hurt too much. |
| 19 |
Texas Tech
|
They have been doing well and will probably keep on climbing. |
| 20 |
Xavier
|
Lost to an unranked team in a blowout. |
| 21 |
Virginia
|
They have played well as of late! |
| 22 |
Creighton
|
Out goes one Big East team in comes another! |
| 23 |
Providence
|
They have played well as of late! And with Minnesota being their only loss I think they should be let back in. |
| 24 |
Purdue
|
I really scratch my head here but decided to leave them in after defeating Arizona. |
| 25 |
Penn State
|
They have to be the 3rd hottest team in the Big Ten, destroying opponents and hanging tough with their good competition. |
