BeardyMcJew's Ballot for Week 3 of 2015-16| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
They look like the best team. They play like the best team. They might just be the best team. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Playing at an extremely high level. May have to wait until December to see how good this team truly is. Hopefully no more choking here. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
When Allen's on, easily a top team. When he's off, there might be a dozen better teams. |
| 4 |
Gonzaga
|
Can't wait to play these guys. Possible best frontcourt. Everyone playing well. |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
GW game looking like a fluke. Wouldn't have happened in a different venue or even in a rematch. |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
Paige's injury is showing. |
| 7 |
Iowa State
|
Some unrealized potential in how they've played so far. |
| 8 |
Oklahoma
|
Same as above. Big XII seems like the conference of underachievers right now. |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
Great showing against the Jayhawks. |
| 10 |
Kansas
|
Greene suspension bad short-term, good long-term. Free Diallo! |
| 11 |
Maryland
|
Serious doubts here. Maybe the Terps are just playing to the level of their competition. Maybe they just aren't that good. |
| 12 |
Arizona
|
This team is starting to gel. Survived an easy game without Anderson. We'll see how we do when we leave McKale. Poised to make a move up. |
| 13 |
Cincinnati
|
This is a team that is playing great basketball. Far better than most expected. |
| 14 |
Miami (FL)
|
As above. |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
Getting it done. Making boilers. Or whatever it is they do. |
| 16 |
Indiana
|
Another team in Indiana getting it done. Hoosiering. |
| 17 |
California
|
Is this team struggling to find motivation against its competition? Top-tier talent, meh execution. Step it up, Bears! |
| 18 |
Louisville
|
Louisville gon' Louisville. |
| 19 |
Vanderbilt
|
Vandy looking like the SEC's best hope to put some competition in UK's way. |
| 20 |
Notre Dame
|
ND looking to be an exciting team yet again. |
| 21 |
Wichita State
|
No VanVleet hurts. A lot. Two different teams. Take note, Duke: This is you without Allen. |
| 22 |
Xavier
|
Can't wait for next month's Crosstown Classic. |
| 23 |
SMU
|
Two left feet. It's a crying shame. |
| 24 |
Baylor
|
A neutral court rematch would see the Bears victorious in my estimation. |
| 25 |
Oregon
|
No Young? No problem. Ducks looking even better. |
