Submitted on Monday, November 26, 2018 at 7:13AM EST
FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kansas
|
+4 I think they still have offensive flaws that have largely been papered over by Vick’s hot start. But, damn, can’t argue with their resume |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
+2 They did the unthinkable. I thought there was a chance Duke could go undefeated, but the Zags cemented their contender status. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
-2 It’s still early and they were playing an experienced Gonzaga team. Coach K needs some new end of game sets for someone not named RJ. |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
-2 It was another ugly first to 50 wins type of game against Wisconsin, but maybe Maryland can take a better crack at that defense. |
| 5 |
Nevada
|
-2 While Nevada had a terrible week defensively, the offense is firing on all cylinders. Three big games are on the horizon. |
| 6 |
Auburn
|
+2 I loved how the Auburn backcourt played against Duke. This is a really tough team that is going to fight every game. |
| 7 |
Tennessee
|
0 Also liked their performance against Kansas, but they need more late-game options: 1) Grant 2) Admiral 3) ? |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
-2 What a big week for Coby White! The freshman PG tried to drag UNC over the finish line against Texas. |
| 9 |
Michigan
|
0 |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
0 |
| 11 |
Kansas State
|
0 |
| 12 |
Florida State
|
0 I’m keeping them here despite the loss to Villanova, just because I didn’t write off Villanova like everyone else. |
| 13 |
Virginia Tech
|
+1 |
| 14 |
Oregon
|
-1 |
| 15 |
Villanova
|
+2 Looked much better this week and had a nice win over FSU that didn’t rely on the 3. Others need to continue developing. |
| 16 |
Kentucky
|
-1 The uneven performances continue. Not sure what to expect out of this team, but liking Keldon Johnson. |
| 17 |
Wisconsin
|
+3 Happ can do it all – except beat Virginia by himself. This team continues to grow on me each time I watch them. |
| 18 |
Arizona State
|
+4 It looks like I had the right team in my top 25 after all, since they beat Mississippi St. Trending in the right direction. |
| 19 |
Texas Tech
|
NR Bring on the tortillas. They crushed Nebraska just after I started praising the Cornhuskers. |
| 20 |
Indiana
|
-2 Indiana continues to struggle. They have the ultimate way to redeem themselves against Duke. |
| 21 |
Purdue
|
0 Carsen Edwards is Batman … now he just needs to find his Robin. |
| 22 |
Texas
|
NR A top win over UNC and a tough game against Michigan St. shows that the Longhorns are the real deal. |
| 23 |
Syracuse
|
-7 I think they’ll beat Ohio St. on Wednesday, so I’ll keep them here for the last time – possibly moving out for the Buckeyes. |
| 24 |
Iowa
|
NR I’m a week late to the Iowa bandwagon, but their top offensive play has continued and they have some big games coming up. |
| 25 |
Buffalo
|
