atucker1744's Ballot for Week 4 of 2014-15| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or they didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them |
| 2 |
Arizona
|
LW:2, Beat ranked SDSU, don't deserve to be jumped. |
| 3 |
Wisconsin
|
LW: 4, +1. Impressive wins in Battle 4 Atlantis put them over Duke, who I expect them to beat on Wednesday |
| 4 |
Duke
|
LW: 3, -1 |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
LW: 5. Good against easy opponents so far, they will be tested against a surprising Maryland in the B1G-ACC challenge |
| 6 |
Louisville
|
LW:7, +1. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
LW: 8, +1. They lost to the #1 a few weeks ago, but rebounded with a win against MSU |
| 8 |
Wichita State
|
LW: 9, +1. |
| 9 |
Villanova
|
LW: 12, +3. Notched wins against Michigan and VCU so far, they deserve the Top 10 nod. |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
LW: 6, -4. Somehow lost to Butler, then looked great in wins against UCLA and Florida |
| 11 |
Texas
|
LW: 11. They barely beat UConn, but I just can't justify them going over the teams above them. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
LW: 14, +2. |
| 13 |
Ohio State
|
LW: 17, +4. They, along with many other teams from 12-16, benefitted from poor performances by teams above them. I will admit, many of |
| 14 |
Miami (FL)
|
LW: 23, +9. these teams won't be this high by the end of the year, but as of now, this is where they are, and where |
| 15 |
West Virginia
|
LW: 22, +7. they deserve to be based on performance so far, in my mind. |
| 16 |
SMU
|
LW: 25, +9. They may have one loss (to a good team nonetheless), but I don't see them losing too many games the rest of the year |
| 17 |
Syracuse
|
LW: 20, +3. They were too high last week, I admit, but they are a good looking team. They will be tested against U of M this week |
| 18 |
San Diego State
|
LW: 15, -3. They lost to my #2 Arizona, which is why they didn't drop too far |
| 19 |
Iowa State
|
LW: 16, -3. They lost to Maryland, who is just outside my top 25, so they won't see a huge drop |
| 20 |
VCU
|
LW: 13, -7. A loss to Nova won't drop you much, but a loss to Old Dominion will |
| 21 |
Michigan
|
LW: 21. They lost to a solid Nova, and with all the movement around them, I don't see a reason for them to move |
| 22 |
Florida
|
LW: 10, -12. With three losses already, Florida is only ranked because I know they will bounce back in a bad SEC |
| 23 |
Creighton
|
LW: 24, +1. |
| 24 |
Michigan State
|
LW: 19, -5. Two losses already, but considering they are to Duke and Kansas, two top ten teams, they stay in the top 25 |
| 25 |
Oklahoma
|
LW: N/A, +1. They were ranked a couple weeks ago, fell out last week, and after a solid run in the Battle 4 Atlantis find their way back in |
