WhiteChocolate12's Ballot for Week 2 of 2020-21| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Gonzaga
|
I'm obviously biased but it should be unanimous for Gonzaga after the two games they played |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
Glad they're playing again, but it's going to be a tough week with Illinois and Gonzaga lurking |
| 3 |
Iowa
|
Luka Garza |
| 4 |
Illinois
|
Held off an impressive effort by Ohio after two dominating performances, but two big games coming up |
| 5 |
Wisconsin
|
This team won't get tested for a few weeks, but they've done well so far |
| 6 |
Creighton
|
I love my Jesuit bros |
| 7 |
Duke
|
If Duke turns it over 22 times against Michigan State, it won't be close |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
Duke looms |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
Very impressive comeback win against WKU, looking forward to that Zags game this week |
| 10 |
Houston
|
Impressive win versus the tortilla boys |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
Tough loss on a last second scheduling addition |
| 12 |
Kansas
|
Still impressive in the loss to Gonzaga. Looking forward to the UK game |
| 13 |
Virginia
|
Gotta do better than that on offense |
| 14 |
North Carolina
|
Started with a nothing game, still looked good though |
| 15 |
Tennessee
|
Hope everyone will be okay and back to basketball sooner rather than later |
| 16 |
Kentucky
|
Richmond is a solid team and will likely make the tournament, but you shouldn't lose to them by double digits at home |
| 17 |
Texas
|
Shaka Smart has hair, not sure what else to say |
| 18 |
Texas Tech
|
A terrible first half--maybe would have won had they played like they did in the second half the whole game |
| 19 |
Rutgers
|
Haven't been really tested yet but impressive so far |
| 20 |
Ohio State
|
Maybe UMass Lowell is actually a good team? |
| 21 |
Florida State
|
It's hard what to know to do with these teams that I think are top 25 but haven't played any games yet |
| 22 |
Oregon
|
See above |
| 23 |
Arizona State
|
Nova loss wasn't too bad--they were in it the whole time. |
| 24 |
Michigan
|
I'll choose to focus on the main positive of their Sunday game--Hunter Dickinson |
| 25 |
Richmond
|
They're a solid team and they won by double digits in Rupp Arena, so I think this spot is well deserved |
