falconlover79's Ballot for Week 10 of 2018-19
Submitted on Sunday, January 6, 2019 at 9:03PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan
|
(LW: 1) Another quality win for Michigan's resume, they're still easily #1 in my books. |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
(LW: 3) Wow were they dominant versus Florida State. This team is looking awfully similar to last year's version. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
(LW: 2) I'm interested to see how Duke's youngsters fair in road ACC games, two of those are coming up this week, including @FSU. |
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
(LW: 5) As a Georgia fan, I can vouch first-hand for how talented this team is. |
| 5 |
Michigan State
|
(LW: 7) Never underestimate how difficult it is to win ranked road games in conference play, that OSU win will look great in March. |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
(LW: 4) Not overly worried about the Iowa State loss, but losing Doke for the year will be tough to bounce back from. |
| 7 |
Auburn
|
(LW: 10) No games this week, but their only two losses are top ten teams (according to me at least) |
| 8 |
NC State
|
(LW: 12) Kevin Keatts is a winner. I'm really liking how this team plays, and even though their SOS is lacking, I really like them. |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
(LW: 11) It's gonna be tough for Gonzaga to rise too much more in the next two months, even with an improved WCC. |
| 10 |
Texas Tech
|
(LW: 16) There's a bit of a drop-off at this point in the rankings, TTU gets the "best of the rest" spot for now. |
| 11 |
Oklahoma
|
(LW: 8) I still like this team more than most, the Big 12 doesn't provide many off days though. |
| 12 |
Nevada
|
(LW: 6) I wanted to drop them more but I really can't find many teams to jump them. That loss was atrocious though. |
| 13 |
Virginia Tech
|
(LW: 18) ND and BC won't be the toughest tests in the ACC, but Tech is off to a good start in conference play. |
| 14 |
Ohio State
|
(LW: 14) They showed a lot of fight against MSU, but their offence went cold down the stretch. Still an impressive young squad. |
| 15 |
Florida State
|
(LW: 9) Yes, they played UVA; losing the way they did is never acceptable though. |
| 16 |
Marquette
|
(LW: 13) I'm a bit concerned about the lack of offensive depth for this team. Someone else needs to step up in conference play. |
| 17 |
Mississippi State
|
(LW: 19) Just like Auburn, the Bulldogs were off this week. During conference play that tends to be a good thing. |
| 18 |
Iowa State
|
(LW: NR) Hilton Magic baby. The Cyclones are back after one year at the bottom of the Big 12. |
| 19 |
Indiana
|
(LW: 15) Injuries have been tough for IU but they are one of the favourites in the Big Ten. |
| 20 |
St. John's
|
(LW: NR) Impressive bounce-back week for the Johnnies. The Georgetown win was especially noteworthy. |
| 21 |
Houston
|
(LW: 22) I keep trying to rank them higher, but I'm not sure they pass the eye test enough for it. |
| 22 |
North Carolina
|
(LW: 21) The Pitt win is certainly impressive but outside of Gonzaga I haven't seen them look great against quality opponents. |
| 23 |
Minnesota
|
(LW: NR) The Gophers are having no troubles with their rivals in Wisconsin (in either sport now) and the resume looks good too. |
| 24 |
TCU
|
(LW: NR) One of the lowest SOSs in the country, which didn't get all that much better by only playing Baylor. |
| 25 |
Maryland
|
(LW: NR) Despite Mark Turgeon's best efforts, this team looks really good right now. Next 5: Wisconsin, Buffalo, Iowa, Kentucky, Texas |
