BluOmega's Ballot for Week 11 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
Impressive win over Florida St despite no Zion, Virginia game will be great. |
| 2 |
Michigan
|
Their only loss in basically 11 months is to an insane Villanova team |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
If Virginia beats Duke they may be No. 1, they look great |
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
The favorite to win the SEC, I like the swagger that the Gator Chomping gives off |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
That San Francisco game was way closer than the score indicates but the Zags fought hard in that environment to win |
| 6 |
Texas Tech
|
In my eyes the favorite to win the Big 12 and unseat Kansas this year |
| 7 |
Michigan State
|
Sparty has some good losses and has been crushing it in the BIG recently |
| 8 |
Virginia Tech
|
The Virginia game is going to be super hype, if they hadn't barely lost to Penn St the Hokies would be undefeated |
| 9 |
Kansas
|
This might be the year the Jayhawks finally lose the Big 12, they're looking shaky right now |
| 10 |
Nevada
|
Very bad loss last week still overshadows the team, but they only have the one |
| 11 |
Florida State
|
Almost took down the Blue Devils, but I really didn't like how they played the end of that game |
| 12 |
Auburn
|
Not a great loss to Ole Miss, we'll see how the UK game goes |
| 13 |
Kentucky
|
This Kentucky team could be one of the best teams in the country but they rarely play at peak condition, Cal needs to work on consistency |
| 14 |
Oklahoma
|
Very solid resume and good TCU win, their 3 losses are all excusable |
| 15 |
Buffalo
|
Since suffering their first loss they have fought back and been dominating MAC play |
| 16 |
Maryland
|
They haven't lost in the second round of BIG play while everyone else cannibalizes the conference |
| 17 |
North Carolina
|
Not a good look against Louisville but this team clearly has talent and potential |
| 18 |
NC State
|
Couldn't beat the Tar Heels but a good rebound against Pitt, and more ACC challenges ahead of them |
| 19 |
Marquette
|
Hard fought win over Seton Hall, Markus Howard is a special talent |
| 20 |
Houston
|
They should not have lost to Temple but regardless they rebounded well and are favored in most of their remaining games |
| 21 |
Ole Miss
|
Ole Miss is rolling right now, including a huge win against the in-state rivals |
| 22 |
Villanova
|
Nova has won five straight against mostly solid teams and looks to be back on track, although not meeting preseason expectations yet |
| 23 |
Iowa State
|
Iowa St has great performances and then bad ones, so it's hard to rank this team |
| 24 |
Louisville
|
Obliterated a solid UNC team, Chris Mack is doing a great job with this program |
| 25 |
Mississippi State
|
Next Five: Nebraska, Ohio St, TCU, Indiana, Seton Hall |
