MetaKoopa99's Ballot for Week 19 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Virginia
|
They good. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
For a moment there, I really thought Providence was going to win the Big East Title. Then Nova became Nova again. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
But the Big 12 refused to change. |
| 4 |
Xavier
|
WHY WOULD YOU WAIT UNTIL THE CLOCK RUNS OUT TO TRY TO GET A THREE!?!? |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
At least UNC getting a 2 seed proves the committee cares about losses somewhat. |
| 6 |
Cincinnati
|
Not gonna lie, a UVA-Cincy Elite Eight matchup would be fantastic to watch (especially if you like defense!) |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
A good basketball team with a resume that doesn't quite match. Tell me all about it, Zags. |
| 8 |
Duke
|
Grayson Allen is one thicc boi |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
Bucknell = MTSU 2? |
| 10 |
Michigan
|
Winning the Big Ten Tournament does wonders for your tournament status. |
| 11 |
Purdue
|
BO11ERMAKERS |
| 12 |
Arizona
|
Being the last 4 seed seems kind of low for Arizona. DeAndre Payton and these Wildcats could be UVA's biggest early challenge. |
| 13 |
Kentucky
|
Or these Wildcats. |
| 14 |
Tennessee
|
Projected 13th in the SEC to 13th (almost) in my poll. Rick Barnes deserves every piece of the SEC Coach of the Year Award. |
| 15 |
West Virginia
|
A nice run in the Big 12 Tournament, only to fall short to Kansas... again. Jevon Carter's a funny guy though. |
| 16 |
Wichita State
|
What is a shocker anyway? |
| 17 |
Texas Tech
|
Five losses out of the last seven go in... 3 seed comes out? Seems a little high to me. |
| 18 |
Ohio State
|
Ohio State can make a tournament run, just as long as Penn State doesn't appear out of nowhere. |
| 19 |
Clemson
|
Why does it seem like Clemson is that forgotten team that everyone's like, "yeah, they're a good team," but no one says anything else about? |
| 20 |
Houston
|
Probably could be higher, and definitely would be if they could close against Cincy. A good tournament sleeper if they can get past SDSU. |
| 21 |
Arkansas
|
Daniel Gafford's dunk could have put the Razorbacks on here alone. Fortunately they backed it up with some good basketball. |
| 22 |
Auburn
|
Upset alert here. Charleston is quite good, and Auburn's been slipping. Be careful, Tigers! |
| 23 |
TCU
|
Hey that Jamie Dixon guy is pretty good, right Pitt? |
| 24 |
Providence
|
Beating Xavier then taking Villanova to OT the next day may get you into my top 25, as the Friars learned. |
| 25 |
San Diego State
|
No one's been hotter than the Aztecs, winners of nine straight. Thursday's game with Houston should be a dandy. |
