SleveMcDichael4's Ballot for Week 7 of 2020-21| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Gonzaga
|
Tier S |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
|
| 3 |
Villanova
|
Tier A |
| 4 |
Texas
|
I *knew* I was wrong to rank Kansas ahead of Texas! |
| 5 |
Iowa
|
Tier B |
| 6 |
Wisconsin
|
Wisconsin and Iowa are effectively T-5 for me. They're both the cream of the crop in the B1G. |
| 7 |
Houston
|
Tulsa exists in a different universe. I've been here too long to dock teams a bunch for losing there. |
| 8 |
Illinois
|
Illinois is still good. Thank you for playing the Illinois Lottery. |
| 9 |
Kansas
|
|
| 10 |
Michigan
|
I didn't even wait until the Northwestern game ended before I started putting this ballot together. That's how much of a blowout it was. |
| 11 |
Tennessee
|
I still trust their defensive scheming despite the loss to Alabama. |
| 12 |
Oregon
|
Tier C |
| 13 |
Creighton
|
|
| 14 |
Missouri
|
KenPom this week: Start at 40; get blown out by Tennessee at home, drop to 50; light up Arkansas on the road, rise back up to 41 |
| 15 |
West Virginia
|
Losing Tshiebwe hurts a lot |
| 16 |
Clemson
|
This team's challenging the 2018 squad for the title of Brownell's Best Team. |
| 17 |
Minnesota
|
Tier D | Would still like to see an away win but to be fair, their two road games have been against the class of the conference |
| 18 |
Oklahoma State
|
The Big XII is gonna be just as brutal as the B1G. |
| 19 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 20 |
Rutgers
|
I didn't think I'd have Minnesota ahead of Rutgers when I started putting this together either. Injuries are hurting Rutgers somewhat. |
| 21 |
Florida
|
Tier E |
| 22 |
St. Louis
|
I don't like moving an idle team from unranked to ranked, but jeez, what is the rest of the country even doing?? |
| 23 |
Arizona
|
I'm gonna give them credit for that road win @ Wazzu, even if it took two overtimes. Wazzu isn't memeworthily bad this year. |
| 24 |
Louisville
|
|
| 25 |
Arkansas
|
Fringe: Florida State, NC State, Drake, Duke, Virginia Tech, Connecticut, Ohio State, Virginia |
