FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
Unless they lose, or something crazy happens, UK is 1 |
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
A really quality win against a good Providence team last night |
| 3 |
Maryland
|
I really like Maryland's chances against UNC this week. |
| 4 |
Iowa State
|
Yet to be tested, really. Hosting Iowa December 12 |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Great win against a terrific Vanderbilt team |
| 6 |
Oklahoma
|
Oklahoma might be a Final Four team right now, we'll see come March |
| 7 |
Villanova
|
Cannot wait to watch Villanova/Oklahoma on Dec. 7th |
| 8 |
Duke
|
Honestly, I think Duke should be lower, but this will have to do. |
| 9 |
Purdue
|
Tremendous size and length in the frontcourt, athleticism in the backcourt. Purdue is scary |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
Both games this week were competitive against mid-tier P5 conference teams. I'm not convinced of this UNC team. |
| 11 |
Providence
|
I am a HUGE Providence fan, after watching a few games. |
| 12 |
Vanderbilt
|
No shame in losing to Kansas by single digits. They were leading at halftime, iirc. |
| 13 |
Oregon
|
Still yet to be truly tested, but a good win vs Baylor |
| 14 |
Gonzaga
|
Loss to A&M is far from bad. They did beat a decent UConn team. |
| 15 |
Texas A&M
|
I was impressed with the Aggies, despite losing to 'Cuse. More on them later |
| 16 |
Virginia
|
I hope Virginia has turned a corner. A road test @OSU then hosting W&m before a rough stretch in Dec. |
| 17 |
Arizona
|
In retrospect, Arizona shouldn't drop this far, but I didn't think they looked particularly good against Prodivence |
| 18 |
Miami (FL)
|
Tough loss at home, but not the end of the world. Northeastern will be dancing this year, most likely. |
| 19 |
Cincinnati
|
Great win against GW, Cincy looks dangerous |
| 20 |
Xavier
|
Why are more people not talking about Xavier? Great wins @Mich, vs Dayton |
| 21 |
SMU
|
|
| 22 |
Syracuse
|
The Orange looked fantastic in the Battle 4 Atlantis. Perhaps I've underestimated them. |
| 23 |
West Virginia
|
WVU has beated some good teams (SDSU, and a Richmond team that has beat Wake and Cal) |
| 24 |
Notre Dame
|
Collapse against 'Bama. Bad loss to Monmouth. I'm not sure ND deserve a ranking |
| 25 |
Louisville
|
Louisville has been destroying people. I'm afraid it might be their turn come Wednesday. |
