JonJaysBooty's Ballot for Week 4 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
The defending champs are undefeated with three top 100 wins. |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
Kentucky is yet to be tested. We'll see how they do in December against UNC and Louisville. |
| 3 |
North Carolina
|
UNC has looked absolutely dominant. There's really nothing else to say about this team. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
I'm a little worried about their shooting going forward, but this team is still loaded with talent. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
Duke hasn't beat anyone great yet, but they're still doing very well without some great freshmen. They'll be scary good when healthy. |
| 6 |
Virginia
|
Similar to Duke -- no standout win yet, but it's hard to fault a team that manhandles everyone it plays. |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
I'm a little worried about this team's inability to put teams away, but 6-0 is 6-0. I'll move Xavier up to #1 if they give us Macura. |
| 8 |
Baylor
|
One of the biggest surprises of the year so far. |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
Looked great in the Advocare Invitational. Again. |
| 10 |
Louisville
|
I've cooled off on Louisville after last week. They'll be fine, but I don't think they're a top five team. |
| 11 |
Oregon
|
I think this team can be very good, but right now they don't look like a top ten team. |
| 12 |
Iowa State
|
5-1 with a two-point neutral court loss to Gonzaga. Hard to move them down. |
| 13 |
Saint Mary's
|
It'll be a while before we know much about this St. Mary's team. |
| 14 |
Indiana
|
Not sure what to make of this team. I think many people overreacted to their win over Kansas. |
| 15 |
Butler
|
Undefeated. |
| 16 |
Syracuse
|
Tuesday's game with Wisconsin will be a fun one. |
| 17 |
Creighton
|
Creighton probably won't lose until January. They could crack the top 10. |
| 18 |
Arizona
|
Zona has been thoroughly unconvincing so far. |
| 19 |
UCLA
|
They've played two teams in the KenPom top 150. |
| 20 |
South Carolina
|
I didn't see them being this good, so props to SCar. |
| 21 |
Wisconsin
|
They've won the games they should win and lost the games they should lose. |
| 22 |
Florida
|
6-1 with some decent wins. |
| 23 |
Michigan
|
Too early to really know about this team. Not super efficient. |
| 24 |
West Virginia
|
They really should've won that Temple game. They had the same problems (turnovers, shooting) that we all expected. |
| 25 |
Notre Dame
|
Purdue, Oklahoma State and Ohio State can play their way into the rankings with solid weeks. |
