Senior_Chang's Ballot for Week 8 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
Felt like not too much change this week, a few top 10 losses and Oklahoma still climbing are most notable. |
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
I apologize if I completely screw something up, it's Christmas Eve, I know all voters are in the same boat here |
| 3 |
Arizona State
|
a few teams drop (Miami, UNC, Kentucky) with losses |
| 4 |
Duke
|
Most of the rest just push up, 17-25 is almost the same |
| 5 |
Texas A&M
|
Oklahoma jumps up more this week. Ripped apart Northwestern. |
| 6 |
West Virginia
|
West Virginia and Virginia have been quietly climbing, taking care of business |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
|
| 8 |
Oklahoma
|
Tried to type Trae Young in the box on the left .. Dude has to be at the front of player of the year talks right now. |
| 9 |
TCU
|
Undefeated, but I'm curious to see how they hold up in the Big 12. Definitely have talent, and Jamie Dixon has them on right path. |
| 10 |
Xavier
|
(Big 12 discussion) Kansas has always had success because they hold their home court. Other teams always seem to drop at least one dud. |
| 11 |
Purdue
|
(Big 12) if one of TCU/Oklahoma/West Virginia can have that home success this year, conference could be theirs. |
| 12 |
Miami (FL)
|
(Big 12) But it's still the Big 12, Kansas is still Kansas, Bill Self is still Bill Self. And Kansas picking up De Sousa will be big. |
| 13 |
Wichita State
|
|
| 14 |
Kansas
|
|
| 15 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 16 |
North Carolina
|
I'm higher on this team than this ranking, but losing to Wofford is bad. |
| 17 |
Baylor
|
I think there's a tier drop here. Out of teams below, Arizona has most potential to climb I think with talent |
| 18 |
Texas Tech
|
Baylor, Tech will have trouble with this loaded Big 12 in climbing (or staying ranked). |
| 19 |
Arizona
|
Have talent, maybe have gotten past early losses. Pac 12 battle between Arizona and ASU will be fun this year. Conference runs through them. |
| 20 |
Florida State
|
|
| 21 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 22 |
Tennessee
|
Rick Barnes. |
| 23 |
Cincinnati

|
| 24 |
