OldManEllus's Ballot for Week 4 of 2015-16| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
Cleary number 1 so far. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Getting Diallo is huge. Selden is on fire, got a good win vs Vandy. |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
Just beat a really good Providence team, and they close games nicely. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
I've been pretty impressed early, more so than with Maryland. |
| 5 |
Maryland
|
They've had a lot of struggles against teams they should handle easily. |
| 6 |
Oklahoma
|
They've looked pretty good all year. |
| 7 |
Iowa State
|
Probably should have beaten Illinois by more but they're explosive. |
| 8 |
Duke
|
Last two games have looked nice, esp against Utah State. |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
Once they get Paige they should go up. |
| 10 |
Virginia
|
The offense is good, which is scary considering their defense. |
| 11 |
Purdue
|
Very hot start, helped by lots of other teams losing. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
Tempted to drop them more, but they're better than Zona and the rest to me. |
| 13 |
Arizona
|
Also tempted to drop them more, but I think they would beat every team from 14-25 at least 6 out of 10 times on a neutral court. |
| 14 |
Oregon
|
They have looked solid all year, good win vs Baylor. |
| 15 |
Vanderbilt
|
Played Kansas very well. |
| 16 |
West Virginia
|
Beat Richmond and SDSU, two pesky teams. |
| 17 |
Xavier
|
Big time wins over USC and Dayton. |
| 18 |
Cincinnati
|
Undefeated with a solid win over GW. |
| 19 |
Miami (FL)
|
Confusing loss to Northeastern but they've flattened everyone else with 2 wins vs teams that were ranked at the time. |
| 20 |
Baylor
|
Good start, only loss is to a good Oregon team. |
| 21 |
Providence
|
Played MSU pretty well. Beat Arizona. |
| 22 |
UConn
|
Had two tough losses. Looked pretty good in those losses. |
| 23 |
Texas A&M
|
Good wins over Texas and Gonzaga, loss to Cuse isn't a huge deal to me. |
| 24 |
SMU
|
Have not done anything incredible yet but still off to a good start. |
| 25 |
Notre Dame
|
Two very close losses to Monmouth and Bama should not hurt them a ton. |
