WalkingCalculator's Ballot for Week 9 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
Very good wins against Kentucky, Tech, Indiana, and Auburn with their only loss against Gonzaga. |
| 2 |
Michigan
|
Was my number #1 but they struggled a decent bit against Binghamton. To be #1, you gotta be consistent! |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
Their loss to ASU looking less of a quality loss. Quality wins against Marquette, Michigan State, Tennessee, and Nova. |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
Wisconsin win is looking less appealing, but they are still undefeated and looking good in all of their games. |
| 5 |
Tennessee
|
Strong team. Win against Gonzaga, Memphis, and Wake. Only loss to Kansas. |
| 6 |
Nevada
|
Undefeated. Not many pretty wins. ASU win looking not as good. Struggled a few times. |
| 7 |
Texas Tech
|
I look highly on Tech. A very solid defense and only lost to Duke in which Tech was leading most of the way. Great team. |
| 8 |
Florida State
|
Solid wins against LSU, Purdue, UCONN, and now Saint Louis. Really good team. |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
Struggled against UNC and Washington. Some solid wins. |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
I think this is the sneaky B10 winner. Watch out for the Spartans. |
| 11 |
Virginia Tech
|
Solid team. But, I think they have more to prove in ACC play and can make it to the top ten. |
| 12 |
Marquette
|
Although some bad losses to Indiana and a loss to Kansas, Marquette is a solid team and will make a run in the BE. |
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
An interesting mix of games. I think ACC play will define this team. |
| 14 |
Ohio State
|
Win against Cinci is looking great. Only bad loss to Cuse'. Watch out for Ohio State! |
| 15 |
Kentucky
|
Big loss to Duke and to a good Seton Hall team. But, win against UNC and a solid Louisville win puts them in a good spot! |
| 16 |
Auburn
|
Auburn is a team I'm still not sure about. They have good wins vs Dayton and Washington, but struggled with Murray State. |
| 17 |
Mississippi State
|
Solid BYU win. Only loss to ASU. |
| 18 |
NC State
|
Only loss to Wisconsin. Quality Auburn win. Put them between the two. ACC play will define them. |
| 19 |
Houston
|
Undefeated and some "quality" wins against LSU and Oregon. Not the most talented but getting the job done. |
| 20 |
Nebraska
|
This team is way better than some people are giving them credit. Solid wins against SH, Creighton, and Clemson. |
| 21 |
Indiana
|
Marquette win looking better. Keeping their boat afloat. |
| 22 |
Buffalo
|
I'm iffy on Buffalo. I think any loss in the MAC will put them out of the top 25 for good. |
| 23 |
Oklahoma
|
Only loss to Wisconsin. OT struggle with NWern. Creighton win looking good. |
| 24 |
Seton Hall
|
I think it's time to rank Seton. Only loss against a very good Nebraska team. Very fun team to watch. |
| 25 |
Wisconsin
|
Losing to the hilltopers will put you at the bottom of the hill. OU win best thing going for this team. |
