University of Maryland, College Park Logothevorminatheria's Ballot for Week 11 of 2014-15

Submitted on Monday, January 19, 2015 at 4:16AM EST
RankTeamReason
1 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Still #1 for same reasons of last week: more consistency, a greater number of impressive road wins
2 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Still destined to #1, will be #1 pretty soon if they keep blowing out other teams (regardless of what Virginia does)
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova
4 Duke University Logo Duke Came back and forth four times to decide between Duke and Wisconsin but in the end - really - Duke won @Wis and that settles it.
5 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin
6 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga They'll swing from #3-4 to #8-9 depending on what other teams do. Of course if Kentucky and Virginia post 2-3 losses each, things can change
7 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Still think Utah is the better team but at this point they have the slight edge as losing to Zona is worse than losing to Iowa State IMHO
8 University of Utah Logo Utah They just lost to Arizona but overall their profile is better than Zona (no bad losses, more consistent play)
9 University of Arizona Logo Arizona
10 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State The ball to win in Baylor and taking care of Kansas at home. If Niang makes that shot they are probably #6-7 at this point. But he didn't.
11 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Resilient performance vs. Miami as they had to come back with a team that had just upset the Dukies
12 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State Man-handled Evansville, that looked a like a legitimate challenge. On the road.
13 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina
14 Virginia Commonwealth University Logo VCU
15 University of Louisville Logo Louisville They only lost to good teams but that's the point. There are several teams better than Louisville at the moment.
16 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Demolished MSU. I'm impressed.
17 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Back to winning ways.
18 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Lost to Texas, They belong here for this week. I have feeling they'll keep going up and down every week.
19 Stanford University Logo Stanford Only two losses since November. One in 2OT @Cal, the other by two points @BYU. Huge matchup with Zona next week.
20 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Keep taking care of business in the B1G and you belong in the top 25
21 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Moody team with top 10 talent IMHO
22 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa
23 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Two solid wins in the B1G
24 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU The Mustangs and Tulsa are emerging as the best teams in an underrated American conference. Tulane, Memphis and Cincy could be top 25 soon.
25 Baylor University Logo Baylor Next 10 Out: Tulsa, NC State, Georgetown, Seton Hall, Georgia, CSU, Butler, Providence, Wyoming, Dayton
