INeedMoreCreativity's Ballot for Week 4 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kansas
|
Quality wins being accrued. Ugly, but still wins. |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
Great win, but not as many as KU. Doing great without their best |
| 3 |
Duke
|
Any of these top 5 teams could be in any of the top 5 spots. Duke is the most talented, but needs to finish and win. |
| 4 |
Michigan
|
Best defense in the nation, great wins so far. |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
Business as usual |
| 6 |
Auburn
|
|
| 7 |
Virginia Tech
|
|
| 8 |
Nevada
|
I want to rank them #4 so badly -- I think they're that good -- but their "prove it" games come in the next few weeks. |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
Solid rebound versus Texas |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
I respect Roy Williams for going on the road, but his team has work to do. |
| 11 |
Tennessee
|
Needs to show it can have decent guard play to move the ball without Williams |
| 12 |
Ohio State
|
Two impressive road wins already. No big names beat, but road wins are undervalued. |
| 13 |
Wisconsin
|
Nerf Ethan Happ |
| 14 |
Texas Tech
|
Chris Beard continues to impress. Culver has made great steps, Mooney filling in well. |
| 15 |
Miami (FL)
|
|
| 16 |
Arizona State
|
|
| 17 |
Florida State
|
|
| 18 |
Oregon
|
|
| 19 |
Purdue
|
|
| 20 |
Iowa State
|
nsane how well they're doing even without Lard and Wigginton. I expect them to reach top 10 at some point. |
| 21 |
Mississippi State
|
|
| 22 |
Iowa
|
|
| 23 |
Kansas State
|
Slightly underwhelming wins despite being undefeated. Should be able to shoot up my rankings if they win more. |
| 24 |
Texas
|
[Justification for UK not being ranked: They got destroyed in their only tough game and have not been walloping their bad opponents] |
| 25 |
Buffalo
|
I am a coward for not ranking Furman, I know. But I had to put Texas and Buffalo in. |
