hazyel's Ballot for Week 2 of 2020-21| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Gonzaga
|
The Zags have looked and played like the #1 team. They took care of KU and dominated AU. Tough games against WVU and BAY next |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
Looked like a top 2 team in the country. This upcoming schedule will test them |
| 3 |
Iowa
|
Took care of business and won't face any challenges until their game against UNC. Garza continues to play at POTY levels |
| 4 |
Illinois
|
They struggled defensively against Ohio and didn't look like the team we saw the first two games. However, they did enough to stay at 5 |
| 5 |
Duke
|
They played ok against Coppin State but turned the ball over way too much. For now, their experience puts them above UK |
| 6 |
Wisconsin
|
Took advantage of other teams losing so they move up. Still don't see them better than ILL or Iowa yet |
| 7 |
Creighton
|
Looked rusty but no reason to drop them, they looked good and could be a potential season long top 10 team |
| 8 |
Kansas
|
Offensively, this KU team is pretty good but their interior defense is lacking and was havily exploited against GONZ. Still a top 10 team |
| 9 |
Villanova
|
From the looks of it, this team can have a very up and down season. Great win vs ASU but somehow lost to VT. Need to be consistent |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 11 |
Houston
|
Great win over TT. Main point of concern was not making any FG in the final stretch. Still a very good team |
| 12 |
West Virginia
|
Quality win vs WKU and could be a potential top 10 team if they win the next stretch of games |
| 13 |
Tennessee
|
|
| 14 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 15 |
Kentucky
|
Can't win many games without making at least 1 3 pointer. Bad game for this UK team, still have a long way to go and a high ceiling |
| 16 |
Virginia
|
Terrible loss to USF. Yes USF shot lights out but UVA gave them wide open shots and their guard play wasn't great. They stay in the top 15 |
| 17 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 18 |
Texas
|
|
| 19 |
Virginia Tech
|
Great win against Villanova and shot an efficient 50% from 3PT territory. Could be a very sneaky team come March |
| 20 |
Ohio State
|
|
| 21 |
Oregon
|
|
| 22 |
Rutgers
|
|
| 23 |
Arizona State
|
|
| 24 |
Richmond
|
Solid W vs UK without one of their top players. They didn't play amazing but did enough to outplay the cats. |
| 25 |
Michigan
|
Didn't play great but still got the W. Dickenson & Livers look good. |
