RobHD4's Ballot for Week 2 of 2021-22| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Gonzaga
|
Played great against a good Texas team, I've always been a Zaga skeptic, but they should be here to stay barring a bad performance. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Beat a good Michigan State team, thought about placing them at 1, but Zaga played great vs Texas. Plus Tarleton played better thantheyshould |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
Tough decision to put Nova over UCLA, but if that game was played on a neutral site, I think Nova would win by a few possessions. |
| 4 |
UCLA
|
Great OT vs a good Nova team, but if UCLA would've won that game by multiple possessions in regulation, they would be 3rd |
| 5 |
Michigan
|
Still good, but they let Buffalo make it a close game towards the end, but Buffalo is good so I won't knock them that bad for it |
| 6 |
Purdue
|
2 handled wins against mid 100 kp teams, but I need to see more. |
| 7 |
Duke
|
Thought I was going to put Duke at 6, but they struggled against a Mid-100 KP Campbell, so I'll keep them here. |
| 8 |
Illinois
|
Illinois performed better against better competition than Baylor did to theirs. |
| 9 |
Baylor
|
Shame they only had one game for week 1, but they performed as they should against one of the worst teams in D1 |
| 10 |
Texas
|
Didn't perform well at all against Gonzaga, but it was the #1 team in the nation on the road so I won't drop them down that far. |
| 11 |
Alabama
|
Thought about putting bama ahead of Texas, but I think they should've played better against South Dakota St at home. |
| 12 |
Kentucky
|
Didn't want to drop UK down too far for keeping it close to a good Duke team at MSG, and then dominated Bobby Mo |
| 13 |
Memphis
|
Thought about placing UM above UK, but they haven't played a top 100 team yet, will have to reevaluate after some good comp next week. |
| 14 |
Oregon
|
Handled a good SMU team. Will be paying attention to Oregon-BYU on Tue |
| 15 |
Tennessee
|
Had to look at 15-19 longer than I should, all teams that have handled their competition, looking to see more. |
| 16 |
Arkansas
|
|
| 17 |
Auburn
|
Wendell Green is the GOAT, Go Colonels. |
| 18 |
Maryland
|
|
| 19 |
UConn
|
Played great, but against some of the worst teams in D1 |
| 20 |
Houston
|
No excuse for letting Hofstra take them to OT, but they handled Rice. Maybe the Hofstra game was fluke |
| 21 |
Florida
|
Beat a good FSU team, earns them a crack into the top 25 |
| 22 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 23 |
Iowa
|
Handled their bad opponents like they should (Looking at you Bonnies) |
| 24 |
USC
|
Had a decent Away win at Temple |
| 25 |
Ohio State
|
Still think they're Top 25 material, but it's unacceptable to almost lose to Akron and let Niagara make it a game |
