rickym24's Ballot for Week 4 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Gonzaga
|
(+2) Kansas has the better resume, but at this point there isn't a team I would take on a neutral over GU. Even without Tillie. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
(+1) Picked up another top 10 win after beating my (5) Tennessee in OT. The ultimate 1B to Gonzaga's 1A. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
(-2) Gonzaga made them look human for the first 30 minutes of that game, they are still easily a top 3 team for me though. |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
(-) Won another November tournament... shocker |
| 5 |
Tennessee
|
(-) Losing to Kansas in OT showed me this team is legit and right where I thought they were. Not dropping them for that. |
| 6 |
Nevada
|
(+1) |
| 7 |
Michigan
|
(+1) |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
(+2) Big wins over UCLA and a tough Texas team |
| 9 |
Auburn
|
(-2) Didn't play as well against Xavier as I thought they would but gave Duke a great game. Jared Harper is the truth. |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
(-3) Avoided the 0-2 in Vegas by beating UCLA. Need to figure out how to stop the ball ASAP or its going to be a long season defensively. |
| 11 |
Virginia Tech
|
(+1) Won the Charleston Classic like I thought they would. Have a real chance to go undefeated in OOC play. |
| 12 |
Kentucky
|
(-1) VT has shown me more than UK so they get jumped for now |
| 13 |
Kansas State
|
(+1) |
| 14 |
Wisconsin
|
(+6) Feels weird to move a team up like this but I was impressed by what they showed this week |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
(+7) Same thing as above ^, played VT a bit tougher than I thought they would |
| 16 |
Ohio State
|
(+2) Less about what OSU did and more about what the teams behind them showed me (Wiscy and Purdue). All 3 of them are very close for me. |
| 17 |
Florida State
|
(-4) Who knows what happens in that LSU game without that lucky bounce... LSU is hurting them as well by apparently being terrible |
| 18 |
Iowa
|
(+2) |
| 19 |
Texas
|
(NR) Big win over UNC, couldn't hold on against MSU. Kerwin Roach is a savage |
| 20 |
Villanova
|
(NR) Were just outside my 25 last week and now they're back |
| 21 |
Oregon
|
(+4) |
| 22 |
Clemson
|
(-6) |
| 23 |
Texas Tech
|
(NR) |
| 24 |
Indiana
|
(-) |
| 25 |
Mississippi State
|
(-10) Lipscomb isn't a bad team by any means, but that is a game you should win. |
