Toastiify's Ballot for Week 8 of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State
|
Tier 1- #1 goes tumbling again. I think the buckeyes are the best team this year, and they showed up against kentucky +5 |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
Have a ridiculously easy schedule for all of january. They need to build some momentum to carry them through tough games. = |
| 3 |
Louisville
|
+2 |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
Looked a bit uncomposed at the end of the nova game, but a 1 point loss to a top 15 team on the road realaly isn't the end of the world -3 |
| 5 |
Duke
|
-2 |
| 6 |
San Diego State
|
Tier 2- looked legit against utah. hopefully this team starts getting the recognition it deserves +5 |
| 7 |
Baylor
|
+1 |
| 8 |
Auburn
|
NCST win is their best of the year. tough game @MissSt coming up +2 |
| 9 |
Oregon
|
Tier 3- really iffy showing against TXSO. 2 losses but quite a few nice wins. |
| 10 |
Memphis
|
I think Memphis could've been a legit title contender with Wiseman, but even without him, they've proven they can handle themselves. +2 |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
knocked off number 1 and their two losses came against top 10 teams. this team COULD be a title contender if it clicks. +7 |
| 12 |
Dayton
|
loss to a top 50 team at the buzzer on a neutral court is hardly a bad loss, but a few teams jump em this week -3 |
| 13 |
Maryland
|
Maybe seton hall is good? i doubt it. this loss isnt a good look. (edit) yeah seton hall is bad. -9 |
| 14 |
Michigan
|
Tier 4 |
| 15 |
Butler
|
I'll probably be low on butler this week, but I really don't think Purdue is all that great of a team. +1 |
| 16 |
West Virginia
|
Huge two games coming up. Even one win against either OSU or kansas should put this team in the national spotlight. +1 |
| 17 |
Wichita State
|
+1 |
| 18 |
Penn State
|
Tier 5 +1 |
| 19 |
Michigan State
|
Tried to meme the big 10 into home-sanity, but pull off a nice win @minnesota. |
| 20 |
Florida State
|
I've been yelled at multiple times for not ranking FSU, but they've been very fringe. two wins puts them over the hump +6 |
| 21 |
Indiana
|
Tier 6- Gritty win against Notre Dame. +7 |
| 22 |
Liberty
|
Big game against LSU next week. the only mildly difficult game on the schedule remaining. no losses is no losses tho. +8 |
| 23 |
Arkansas
|
Dodgy game against Valpo. One more OoC prove it game. -2 |

one loss to WVU and a road win against colorado. NR |
| 25 |
St. John's
