wichita_gator's Ballot for Week 10 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
West Virginia
|
West Virginia and Villanova were my clear 1 and 2. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
|
| 3 |
Texas Tech
|
Since I rank on my eye-test of resumes, Texas Tech and Arizona State can both crash if Kansas crashes, but right now everyone looks fine. |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
I'm not high on Virginia Tech, which is Virginia's best road win. |
| 5 |
Oklahoma
|
Road wins over TCU and Wichita State keep them high. |
| 6 |
Arizona State
|
ASU is starting to look wobbly in conference play, but had an amazing non-conference. |
| 7 |
Duke
|
Duke is struggling in road ACC games (5 straight losses), but still picked up some glitter for the resume in the non-con. |
| 8 |
Purdue
|
The scar of the WKU loss has made their trip to the top 10 long and hard, however I don't think they will be losing much in the Big 10. |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
Michigan State needs to avoid additional losses to stay high in the ranks. Their SOS isn't gonna be the best this year. |
| 10 |
Seton Hall
|
I gave Seton Hall the edge in rank over Xavier because they have big wins away from home. |
| 11 |
Xavier
|
|
| 12 |
Auburn
|
Just beat 2 ranked teams and is on a 12 game win streak. |
| 13 |
Wichita State
|
WSU, Gonzaga, and Cincinnati are all going to be much better than their seeds/resume in March. |
| 14 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 15 |
Clemson
|
I don't know if their success will be sustained but they get a top 15 ranking for now. |
| 16 |
Cincinnati
|
Clemson did better against their shared opponent: Florida. |
| 17 |
Kansas
|
Nearly gave up control against TCU. This Kansas team is at a tipping point of becoming good or turning out to be really bad. |
| 18 |
North Carolina
|
Aside from the home loss to Wofford, they have played like a decent team. |
| 19 |
Tennessee
|
Take everything past here with a grain of salt. Other teams considered: Miami, Kentucky, Arkansas, Baylor, Butler, Ohio St |
| 20 |
Arizona
