falconlover79's Ballot for Week 7 of 2018-19
Submitted on Sunday, December 16, 2018 at 8:06PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan
|
(LW: 1) I'm still not totally sure between #1 and 2 right now. The way Michigan played against Nova, in comparison to KU, gives them #1. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
(LW: 2) Probably the best resume in the country, but the eye test holds them back slightly. |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
(LW: 3) Not much to report on, I'm sure their practices went very well though. |
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
(LW: 4) Solid win over Memphis, as they continue to look like the best 1-loss team. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
(LW: 7) Huge matchup with Texas Tech this Thursday, their first major test since they fell to Gonzaga. |
| 6 |
Nevada
|
(LW: 5) Against all odds, Nevada is still undefeated. SDSU is a good mid-major, but the Wolf Pack should've won by more. |
| 7 |
Auburn
|
(LW: 8) It's always nice to see top teams playing true road games aginst mid-majors. It worked out for Auburn, as they beat UAB in OT. |
| 8 |
Texas Tech
|
(LW: 9) Well I thought ACU could potentially shock the Red Raiders. It didn't happen, and Texas Tech now could make a statement in NYC. |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
(LW: 10) Phenomenal offensive showing against Green Bay on Sunday. Can't wait to see if they can keep this up in the B1G. |
| 10 |
Florida State
|
(LW: 11) The Seminoles play 3 games this week, including a sneaky one against Saint Louis on Saturday. |
| 11 |
North Carolina
|
(LW: 13) The ACC is gonna be good once again, the Tar Heels' offence was unstobbable on Saturday night. |
| 12 |
Wisconsin
|
(LW: 12) The Badgers are crusing along until they travel to face WKU, followed by the rest of the conference season. |
| 13 |
Gonzaga
|
(LW: 6) The secret to Gonzaga is that if they're not shooting very well, it'll be hard for them to win against top quality teams. |
| 14 |
Virginia Tech
|
(LW: 14) Nickeil Alexander-Walker is playing like a beast as of late. I'm excited to see how the Hokies fare against the top-heavy ACC. |
| 15 |
Oklahoma
|
(LW: 20) How is this team not ranked yet? They're only loss is to top 15 Wisconsin and their schedule has been very tough so far. |
| 16 |
Ohio State
|
(LW: 15) Close call against Bucknell, they need to take care of business this week against YSU and UCLA. |
| 17 |
Marquette
|
(LW: 16) Who would've guessed that Buffalo would be a major non-con home game for Marquette? Should be a good matchup on Friday. |
| 18 |
Arizona State
|
(LW: 18) A great comeback against Georgia, this young team is finding its legs and they have another SEC road game this week, at Vanderbilt. |
| 19 |
Indiana
|
(LW: 21) I'm not even an Indiana fan and I can't stop watching that Phinisee buzzer-beater. Butler might be a quality win come March too. |
| 20 |
Houston
|
(LW: 25) Very good week for the Cougars, wins over LSU and a solid Saint Louis team. AAC might be a two bid league but both teams are solid. |
| 21 |
St. John's
|
(LW: 17) Did a bit of re-evalutating on this team. Their SOS isn't great and I didn't feel like they should be above certain teams yet. |
| 22 |
Buffalo
|
(LW: 22) Remember when the WVU win was something special? Now, their resume is still decent, but the quality wins come from mid-majors. |
| 23 |
Mississippi State
|
(LW: NR) I was hesistant to believe in this team, but after a good win against Cincy I'm willing to trust in the Bulldogs. |
| 24 |
NC State
|
(LW: NR) Huge game this week as Auburn comes to Raleigh on Wednesday. Big test for Keatts' squad. |
| 25 |
Iowa
|
(LW: NR) Iowa is clearly the best team in their state, just ask ISU and UNI. Next 5: Nebraska, Kentucky, TCU, Louisville, Minnesota |
