falconlover79's Ballot for Week 3 of 2021-22| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Gonzaga
|
Big week for the Zags, two wins will probably lock them into #1 for a long time. |
| 2 |
Purdue
|
Canada's finest, Zach Edey is having an incredible start to his sophomore season. |
| 3 |
UCLA
|
|
| 4 |
Kansas
|
|
| 5 |
Houston
|
Another dominant defensive team, they absolutely destroyed Virginia from start to finish. |
| 6 |
Arizona
|
Tommy Lloyd has a hell of a squad lead by Canada's finest, Bennedict Mathurin, and Christian Koloko is a beast as well. |
| 7 |
Duke
|
|
| 8 |
BYU
|
Mark Pope is a top 5 coach in the country, and I'm tired of pretending that he's not. |
| 9 |
Alabama
|
|
| 10 |
Baylor
|
|
| 11 |
Seton Hall
|
Another team with an incredible defensive ceiling, Rhoden will need to be a consistent scorer for this squad to crack the top 10. |
| 12 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 13 |
Memphis
|
|
| 14 |
St. Bonaventure
|
They need to get off to better starts more consistently, but that's pretty much my only complaint about the Bonnies. |
| 15 |
Virginia Tech
|
|
| 16 |
Texas
|
|
| 17 |
Villanova
|
Very rarely is a two loss team still ranked this early in my ballot, but Nova gets a pass due to margin and quality of opponent. |
| 18 |
Illinois
|
This team needs Kofi, and the only reason they're still in the top 25 is because he wasn't playing in that debacle in Milwaukee. |
| 19 |
UConn
|
|
| 20 |
Mississippi State
|
|
| 21 |
Xavier
|
Just wait until this team gets Zach Freemantle back, they could easily be challengers in a deep and talented Big East. |
| 22 |
Tennessee
|
I still think this team has a high ceiling, but that Villanova game was ugly and Josiah Jordan-James hasn't taken the step forward yet. |
| 23 |
Indiana
|
I really missed watching games at Assembly Hall with 100% capacity, those fans just go wild. The Johnnies found that out this week. |
| 24 |
Florida
|
|
| 25 |
Colorado State
|
Next 15: Michigan, USC, Texas Tech, St. John's, FSU, Marquette, MSU, Providence, LSU, Drake, Utah State, Arkansas, WVU, UCF, Ohio State |
