DEP61's Ballot for Week 3 of 2015-16| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
Yet again looking like the best team. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Only loss is to UK, and they're the only team I see the Blue Devils losing to right now. |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
Flying under the radar, but looking very good. |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
Beat Kansas - looking very solid. |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
Big upset by giant-killers UNI knock the Tar Heels back a couple spots. |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
Losing to MSU hurts, obviously, but getting Diallo could be big - if it ever happens. |
| 7 |
Iowa State
|
Dominating teams that aren't that great. |
| 8 |
Oklahoma
|
Looking like a very good team - still third in the Big 12, though. |
| 9 |
Virginia
|
Aside from the loss at George Washington, this team has looked good. |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
Solid squad throughout. |
| 11 |
Maryland
|
I don't really get the hype around this team. They look good, but I don't know how good, really. |
| 12 |
Arizona
|
Most of these next few teams are just moving with the ebb and flow of the teams around them. |
| 13 |
California
|
See Arizona. Solid squad throughout. |
| 14 |
Indiana
|
Yogi Ferrell is the cornerstone of this team. He does well, this team does well. |
| 15 |
UConn
|
Absolutely wrecking mediocre mid-majors. Looking pretty damn solid. |
| 16 |
Vanderbilt
|
I have these guys finishing second in the SEC, and I don't doubt him. |
| 17 |
Wichita State
|
Losing to Tulsa isn't good, but losing Fred VanVleet is worse. |
| 18 |
Miami (FL)
|
This team scares me a little. |
| 19 |
Notre Dame
|
Notre Dame is looking pretty good so far. Nothing concerning, really. |
| 20 |
Utah
|
Their only loss was a shellacking at a very good Miami team. |
| 21 |
Purdue
|
Purdue is going to be a dark horse all year, I think. |
| 22 |
Cincinnati
|
This team is looking very solid. SMU-Cincinnati could decide the AAC. |
| 23 |
SMU
|
Nothing to be concerned about here, so far. |
| 24 |
Texas A&M
|
Looking very good so far. |
| 25 |
Northern Iowa
|
Upsetting number 1 earns them a spot in my ballot. |
