rickym24's Ballot for Week 15 of 2018-19
Submitted on Sunday, February 10, 2019 at 8:26PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
(+1) New #1 after beating the previous #1 on their court. If they shoot like that (they won't) nobody in the country can beat them |
| 2 |
Tennessee
|
(+2) @UK is gonna be huge for both teams. Although I think Kentucky will win it, UT remains a solid top tier team |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
(+1) Their absolute dominance of the WCC is the reason I'm putting them above Virginia, even though in my mind they are even |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
(-3) Got Ty Jerome back, still lost. Duke shot great but UVA gave them a ton of open looks. @UNC is a chance to bounce back. |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
(-) Great win @MissSt. Defending home court vs LSU and UT could be 2 more huge wins and are games I think they should win |
| 6 |
Michigan
|
(-) Nice win over Wiscy at home. Need to do that again vs Maryland. |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
(-) Put up 113 against NCSU, then let Miami take them to OT... Remains a weird team but need to play their best against Virginia |
| 8 |
Nevada
|
(-) Nice little revenge win, probably should be close to losing any games other than @Utah State for the rest of the year |
| 9 |
Houston
|
(+5) @UCF and vsCincy are two huge wins. Now up to 24-1, no matter what league you're in thats fantastic |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
(+6) Big jump this week for Purdue. A very real path has opened up for them to win the B1G |
| 11 |
Michigan State
|
(-4) Lose at Illinois but destroy Minnesota at home? I have no idea what the hell this team is anymore |
| 12 |
Marquette
|
(-2) Swept by the Johnnies? Not sure what to make of that. Rebounded by beating Nova, still need to make up ground in the BE |
| 13 |
Villanova
|
(-) No movement for them. Tough loss by a single point to what I had ranked as a top 10 team. |
| 14 |
Texas Tech
|
(+4) Maybe the best B12 team after ISU shit themselves? Who really knows. Need to defend home court vs Baylor |
| 15 |
Kansas
|
(-4) K-State isn't a bad loss but now without Vick it might actually be the year the streak ends (Just kidding it won't happen) |
| 16 |
Iowa State
|
(-1) They pooped themselves against TCU. Something something Big 12 refuses to change |
| 17 |
Louisville
|
(-) Nice win over depleted VT but couldn't pull it out @FSU, nothing to be ashamed of |
| 18 |
Florida State
|
(+1) 5 straight for the Noles, picked up a good win over Louisville this week |
| 19 |
LSU
|
(+5) Two really good wins this week, now they get to visit Kentucky |
| 20 |
Wisconsin
|
(-) Another road win over Minnesota but couldn't do the same @Michigan. Thought they'd go 1-1 and they did |
| 21 |
Kansas State
|
(NR) Welcome to the poll, huge week beating Kansas and Baylor. Could they be the team to end the streak? (No, of course not) |
| 22 |
Virginia Tech
|
(-11) I honestly want to unrank this team because I don't think they are top 25 quality w/o Robinson but I'll give them another week |
| 23 |
Buffalo
|
(-1) MACtion continues, need to win @Akron big time |
| 24 |
Maryland
|
(NR) Nebraska is pretty depleted but its still a decent win. Need to win vsPurdue cause they probably won't @Michigan. Gotta get to 1-1 |
| 25 |
Wofford
|
(NR) 4 out of my next 5 last week lost as well as Auburn... Welcome to the poll Terriers (Next 5 - Cincy, Miss St, TCU, Iowa, Lipscomb) |
