Submitted on Sunday, January 27, 2019 at 8:50PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
(1) Virginia stays #1. Truly believe they'd beat everyone on a neutral court |
| 2 |
Duke
|
(2) Stays #2. I think they are the most talented team, but their shooting is a big question mark. |
| 3 |
Tennessee
|
(3) Continue to survive close games. Still the best in the SEC though |
| 4 |
Michigan
|
(4) |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
(6) |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
(5) Only fall one spot because losing at Purdue isn't bad, especially when you beat Maryland and Iowa in the same week. |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
(9) |
| 8 |
Nevada
|
(7) |
| 9 |
Marquette
|
(10) |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
(13) |
| 11 |
Virginia Tech
|
(8) |
| 12 |
Villanova
|
(17) |
| 13 |
Kansas
|
(14) They moved up 1 spot despite losing a close game on the road to UK. I dont know what to make with KU without Doke. |
| 14 |
Purdue
|
(21) One of the biggest jumps in my ballot. I think the computers are a tad bit high, but they aren't wrong in Purdue being a good team. |
| 15 |
Buffalo
|
(11) Fall 4 spots. I'm not going to hurt them much for losing on a buzzer beater, but they should have won that game by 6+ points |
| 16 |
Houston
|
(19) they continue to win, but they also don't play anyone. Luckily, they get a tough stretch coming up in the AAC. |
| 17 |
Iowa State
|
(24) Another big jump, even though they lost at KU. They played as well as I thought at KU, so not punishing for that, and they won at Miss |
| 18 |
Louisville
|
(20) |
| 19 |
Texas Tech
|
(15) Would have fallen harder if so many teams behind them didn't lose. Tech is a streaky team right now. |
| 20 |
Wisconsin
|
(UR) Back in the poll after a tough stretch. We will see how long this lasts |
| 21 |
LSU
|
(25) Probably too high but at this point, I have no idea who to rank. Close game at Mizzou that they should have lost |
| 22 |
Mississippi State
|
(UR) Blowout loss at Kentucky, but won vs Auburn. SEC is a mess after the top 2. |
| 23 |
Auburn
|
(12) Bad week for Auburn. Not sure what to make of them. |
| 24 |
Kansas State
|
(22) Had a great stretch in the Big 12, and then lost at Texas A&m. Woof |
| 25 |
TCU
|
(UR) TCU is back in. Losses by less than 10. Others considered: Oklahoma, NC State, Washington, and Wofford |
