Submitted on Monday, November 30, 2015 at 2:17AM EST
FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
UK is the #1 team until they lose, or somebody surpasses them |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
You can only play those on your schedule. Nova is winning by double-digits |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
Best 1 loss team in NCAA. Dominant outside of their loss |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
Had an impressive weekend and could move up more if they beat Louisville |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Also having an impressive season despite not having Diallo yet |
| 6 |
Purdue
|
Has been very good so far. Gonna be tested by Pitt in Pittsburgh |
| 7 |
Duke
|
Probably victimized by the expectations game |
| 8 |
Oklahoma
|
Has had a pretty good year, although only 4 games so far |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
Has all the potential to move back up if Paige returns |
| 10 |
Louisville
|
Similar to Villanova, only Nova is better so far. Certain (alleged) scandals are dampening their rank overall |
| 11 |
Gonzaga
|
Could drop them more for losing a game. But they bounced back vs UConn |
| 12 |
Xavier
|
Had a pretty good tournament weekend, reminding the world of the Dayton animosity towards Xavier |
| 13 |
Cincinnati
|
Good start to season, could have moved ahead of Xavier if Cincy did better vs Neb/GW |
| 14 |
Iowa State
|
They've beaten everybody by double-digits, except for Colorado (at a neutral site). Figures |
| 15 |
West Virginia
|
Has beaten a variety of non-major schools so far! |
| 16 |
Vanderbilt
|
Had a pretty good run, but ran into Kansas hard |
| 17 |
Miami (FL)
|
nobody expects Northeastern |
| 18 |
Maryland
|
Their most decisive victory over a known school is Rhode Island. Didn't exactly impress vs GTown or Rider or IL State |
| 19 |
Arizona
|
Looked great until Santa Clara. Then lost to Providence to cap it off |
| 20 |
Oregon
|
Didn't really do anything since last Monday, but could move up since other teams lost |
| 21 |
Baylor
|
Beating virtually any non-major "State" school they play! |
| 22 |
Texas A&M
|
Had a pretty good run this week |
| 23 |
Syracuse
|
Beat ranked teams on back to back days! |
| 24 |
Iowa
|
Probably an argument against ranking 25 teams. Maybe Iowa is the best 2 loss team? |
| 25 |
Florida
|
UF is probably ranked because Valparaiso and Notre Dame lost on Sat/Sun. It's easier to rank 20 than 25 |
