KJones77's Ballot for Week 11 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
no change |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
up 5 |
| 3 |
Oklahoma
|
up 5; but it's a hard group to rank since WVU beat OU who beat TTU who beat WVU |
| 4 |
Texas Tech
|
no change; logic here: I think OU is the best of Big 12 trio, TTU just beat KU and WVU so hard to ignore, and WVU is iffy to me in spots |
| 5 |
West Virginia
|
down 3; WVU is iffy because I still can't shake that blow out loss to TAMU and the near loss to Marist, OU is a great win though but @ home |
| 6 |
Duke
|
no change |
| 7 |
Purdue
|
up 7; correction, I had them way too low last week and that's my bad |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
down 5; near loss to Rutgers and then a loss to Michigan to compound the Ohio State loss. The latter two are good but hot damn they're cold |
| 9 |
Wichita State
|
down 4; correction down, not as good as teams I had them over last week and have a weaker resume thus far |
| 10 |
Kansas
|
down 1 |
| 11 |
Arizona
|
no change |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
up 5; not sure if they're quite this good yet but they're definitely good enough to jump due to the losses below them |
| 13 |
Kentucky
|
up 7; it's a tragedy they're the only ones I can justify moving up |
| 14 |
North Carolina
|
up 4; hey they did beat Notre Dame. they may be without Farrell and Colson but survive and advance applies even now at this rate |
| 15 |
Xavier
|
down 2; Creighton is a good win but they got SPANKED by Nova |
| 16 |
Auburn
|
up 4; got to reward the winning at this point |
| 17 |
Seton Hall
|
down 1; got spanked by Marquette on the road but recovered nicely |
| 18 |
Tennessee
|
up 7; winning pays off yet again |
| 19 |
Clemson
|
no change; @NC State isn't a terrible loss, especially since they beat Miami over the weekend |
| 20 |
TCU
|
down 10; ok, at some point you do have to win. I want to keep overlooking these L's but let's grit one out here boys |
| 21 |
Florida State
|
down 6; second straight loss and then a 2OT win over an ok Syracuse team isn't inspiring confidence |
| 22 |
Arizona State
|
down 10; the Pac stinks and ASU still can't be over .500 to start conference play. Uh oh |
| 23 |
Cincinnati
|
down 1; by-product of their eh conference |
| 24 |
Ohio State
|
up 1; continuing to excel |
| 25 |
Michigan
|
new; Michigan State keeps letting new teams in. Good close loss to Purdue is enough to break in with weak top 25 this yr. Miami (24) out |
