gregorykoch11's Ballot for Week 8 of 2015-16| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan State
|
Sparty moves past Oklahoma thanks to Sooners' two narrow wins in Hawaii |
| 2 |
Oklahoma
|
Still, not enough to drop OU below #2 |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
Cavs have a couple quality wins and the loss to GW isn't too bad. |
| 4 |
Xavier
|
Xavier is undefeated still. Remember this team. They're going to be good. |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Only one loss, and a quality one |
| 6 |
Maryland
|
Terps are playing well too |
| 7 |
Iowa State
|
That UNI loss is bad, but it's their only blemish |
| 8 |
SMU
|
SMU has no losses, they'll be good this year. Shame they can't go anywhere. |
| 9 |
Providence
|
Quality team with a couple quality wins |
| 10 |
Butler
|
Another good team out of the Big East |
| 11 |
Purdue
|
Only loss was to Butler |
| 12 |
Arizona
|
Probably the best West Coast team |
| 13 |
South Carolina
|
Gamecocks are undefeated |
| 14 |
Texas Tech
|
Quality team who beat previously unbeaten UALR |
| 15 |
Villanova
|
Two losses, both to Top 3 teams |
| 16 |
North Carolina
|
Another two loss team, but those losses are worse. Still, they have good wins too. |
| 17 |
West Virginia
|
Underrated team from Big 12 |
| 18 |
Kentucky
|
Win over Louisville gets them back in. |
| 19 |
Duke
|
Duke is inconsistent - when they're on their game, they're Top 5, and when they're not, they're not even Top 50. |
| 20 |
Northwestern
|
Still only one loss, to UNC. |
| 21 |
Pitt
|
One loss team, let's see if they blow it again in tourney time |
| 22 |
Miami (FL)
|
Loss to Northeastern is horrible, and will continue to hurt them. |
| 23 |
Utah
|
Beat Duke and gets back in here. |
| 24 |
Colorado
|
Only losses were to Iowa State and SMU |
| 25 |
Texas A&M

Aggies make it back in. |
