terker's Ballot for Week 4 of 2014-15| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
Maybe Dec 5th, when they host Texas, will be a close game? Close-ish? They'll play a close game...sometime...probably |
| 2 |
Arizona
|
Just being awesome n stuff |
| 3 |
Wisconsin
|
The top 4 teams on this list are on another level. Nigel Hayes an absolute matchup nightmare. I <3 our frontcourt. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
Can't wait for Wednesday. Bring your big boy game, Dook. We're coming with ours. This game is going to be incredible |
| 5 |
Louisville
|
There are going to be some games when they struggle to score. But this team is very legit |
| 6 |
Gonzaga
|
Along with Miami, leading contender for most impressive team in the nation so far. Not best exactly, but most impressive. |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
lol how the fuck are you supposed to score against Tony Bennett's defense? |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
Very strong start to their year |
| 9 |
Texas
|
They had been dominating people up until a very close win today over UConn. Insanely deep, versatile frontcourt. |
| 10 |
Wichita State
|
There's nothing I don't like about Wichita St |
| 11 |
Kansas
|
Nice win over Sparty. This team isn't going away any time soon |
| 12 |
Ohio State
|
Shannon Scott and D'Angelo Russell have been stupid good, Sam Thompson is improved. I hope they start sucking soon lol |
| 13 |
Miami (FL)
|
This is arguably the most impressive team in America so far. I thought I was ahead of the curve with them at #41 preseason. I was way off |
| 14 |
San Diego State
|
My goodness, they are such a pleasure to watch defensively. If they get over the Arizona hurdle or don't face them again, look out |
| 15 |
Iowa State
|
This team hasn't looked great just yet, but they are going to. |
| 16 |
West Virginia
|
Great frontcourt - this team is intriguing. WVU fans who were upset at me for not ranking them preseason: here you go. Mmmmmmm crow |
| 17 |
Michigan State
|
Sparty gonna Sparty. I fucking hate Denzel Valentine, because if he played for anyone but a B1G rival, I would fucking love Denzel Valentine |
| 18 |
Oklahoma
|
They looked incredible at times against Wisconsin. One of the nations's most outstanding starting 5's |
| 19 |
Butler
|
Roosevelt Jones makes this team. Dunham is the scorer but Jones the soul. Martin a very impressive youngster and Barlow playing very well. |
| 20 |
North Carolina
|
I enjoyed that Butler game, but I really wanted a piece of the Hound Dog in the Atlantis title game. Oh well, Dook's coming to town |
| 21 |
Michigan
|
I had them underrated preseason, and have taken awhile to move them up, but Irvin & LeVert are outstanding. Beilein gonna Beilein |
| 22 |
Wyoming
|
Believe it. WY = 5th in the nation in FG% w/ 112 assists on 146 made FG's, and are 9th in scoring D |
| 23 |
Northern Iowa
|
Extremely deep team w/ huge star everyone should know in Seth Tuttle. Nice win @ Stephen F. Austin |
| 24 |
Arkansas
|
We're going to find out a lot about the Hogs this week: they face Iowa St and Clemson, contrasting teams that will really make Arkansas work |
| 25 |
Maryland
|
Who knows how long they'll stay without Dez Wells, but they belong as of now |
