oncearunner's Ballot for Week 15 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
Tier 1a I think there is an argument for any of the top 3 to be at #1 , but I personally see duke as just a cut above the rest |
| 2 |
Tennessee
|
Tier 1b |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
St Mary's is vastly overrated by efficiency metrics, and to a lesser extent USF, but they are solid teams. Winning by 30 and 48 is scary |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
|
| 5 |
Michigan
|
Tier 1c |
| 6 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
tier 1d |
| 8 |
Houston
|
Tier 2a |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
They still have a phenomenal win resume and unlike Kansas they don't have as many reasons for thinking there will be a continued slump |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
|
| 11 |
Nevada
|
continue to roll in the MWC. Really waiting for that March 2nd game |
| 12 |
Wisconsin
|
Tier 2b tOP QuAliTY lOss and a quality win this week |
| 13 |
Villanova
|
The narrow loss @ Marquette was less concerning than the win vs Creighton. |
| 14 |
Marquette
|
If they could just not lose to St. Johns... |
| 15 |
LSU
|
Tier 3 Very solid wins this week @Miss st and vs Auburn |
| 16 |
Kansas
|
What to do? Their resume says 10 still, but their performances without azubuike say otherwise. Will vick return? |
| 17 |
Louisville
|
|
| 18 |
Iowa
|
Got their best road win this week, but IU appears to be in freefall so who knows what to make of it |
| 19 |
Kansas State
|
|
| 20 |
Florida State
|
|
| 21 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 22 |

|
Nebraska looks pretty bad, but winning on the road by 15 is still very solid |
| 23 |
Iowa State
|
|
| 24 |
Virginia Tech
|
@ me with "but KP" all you want, but your win resume is not too impressive, but you have 5 losses. Also Robinson is out indefinitely |
| 25 |
Buffalo
|
Need to figure out how to play the first 10 minutes of a game 26. Cincy 27. Wofford |
