ClaudeLemieux's Ballot for Week 4 of 2015-16| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
(LW 1) Still doing their thang |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
(LW 2) Last week I joked, but now I think I'm serious - beating small teams by a bunch is actually impressive this year |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
(LW 3) Denzel: I do what I do, when I do what I do |
| 4 |
Iowa State
|
(LW 5) They look good so far |
| 5 |
Maryland
|
(LW 4) Monster matchup with Carolina on the horizons. |
| 6 |
Oklahoma
|
(LW 6) Somehow flying under the radar, but that may be to their advantage. SSSH NO ONE TELL THEM THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY BE BETTER AT SHOOTYHOOP |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
(LW 9) DIALLO IS FREE! |
| 8 |
Cincinnati
|
(LW 12) Fuck it. They look good, and they haven't lost yet. A Cronin defense plus a super competent offense...looking forward to XU-CU! |
| 9 |
Virginia
|
(LW 8) Looks like Cincy is the new UVa, and UVa is the new UVa-lite. Or Cincy-lite. |
| 10 |
Arizona
|
(LW 7) Losing to Kris Dunn isn't the worst thing in the world. Still have to be Pac12 favorites, though |
| 11 |
Duke
|
(LW 11) No reason to move them, really. Still not solid on Ingram and Thornton, yet |
| 12 |
Purdue
|
(LW 13) It's time to get very afraid, B1G |
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
(LW 10) Hmmph. That KSU game didn't look very promising - not with UMD on the horizon |
| 14 |
Vanderbilt
|
(LW 21) Looked really really good in Maui |
| 15 |
Oregon
|
(LW 23) The real benefactor in a week all hell broke loose |
| 16 |
SMU
|
(LW NR) Finally time to recognize the Fightin' Larry Browns |
| 17 |
Syracuse
|
(LW NR) I did not see this coming |
| 18 |
Texas A&M
|
(LW NR) Danuel House was a great addition, and some great recruits people kinda forgot about with the Simmons hoopla. Good stuff, Texas A+M |
| 19 |
Gonzaga
|
(LW 14) *sigh* Please look good against Zona, guys |
| 20 |
Xavier
|
(LW 20) Very interesting encounter with Dayton coming up |
| 21 |
UConn
|
(LW 15) 2 tough, hardfought losses. Still a real good team, though. |
| 22 |
Providence
|
(LW NR) This isn't factoring in the Providence-MSU game. I'll be away travelling, but I still think PC is good enough to warrant a spot here |
| 23 |
Miami (FL)
|
(LW 16) One bad loss shouldn't negate a bunch of good wins...but it was a pretty freaking bad loss. |
| 24 |
GW
|
(LW NR) That UVa win is looking less like an "upset" and more like a strong MO |
| 25 |
West Virginia
|
(LW NR) Welcome back, Huggy Bear! I had you ranked at first, then I dropped you for a bit, and now you're back. Because you're, yaknow, good |
