mountaineer2016's Ballot for Week 4 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
Haven't lost or looked shaky at all. Simple as that. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Firing on all cylinders at the moment. |
| 3 |
North Carolina
|
I don't want to jinx anything, but we look damn good all around. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
Ever since losing that opening game, they've looked as good as anyone in the nation. |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
They've had 3 games where they held their opponent to under 40. Most points they've allowed all season is 52. Best D in the country. |
| 6 |
Duke
|
Deliberated for quite some time between UVA and Duke. In the end, UVA's absurd defense won out. But Duke has looked great since faltering. |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
Their ranking is more about all the top teams that were upset this past week, more than what its done. That's not to discount them though |
| 8 |
Gonzaga
|
They move into my top ten after their win against ISU. |
| 9 |
Baylor
|
Baylor can rise even higher if they beat Xavier in a few days. Already they've displayed amazing resolve in their W against Louisville. |
| 10 |
Indiana
|
I wanted to drop them further, but with all the upsets that happened this week, I just couldn't justify having anyone else in the ten spot. |
| 11 |
UCLA
|
They haven't really played a tough opponent, but they've looked extremely good. |
| 12 |
Saint Mary's
|
Jock Landale is looking like an All-American. |
| 13 |
Arizona
|
They fall because of their loss. |
| 14 |
Oregon
|
Starting to look like Oregon might not be all that we thought it'd be. |
| 15 |
Louisville
|
Why did pretty much every team ranked from 10-20 get upset this past week? |
| 16 |
Purdue
|
An understandable loss to Nova is the only blemish this team has. |
| 17 |
Wisconsin
|
Lost to UNC, and then rebounded with a convincing win over some scrubs |
| 18 |
URI
|
Treading water since they didn't lose. |
| 19 |
Syracuse
|
Despite losing to South Carolina, I won't penalize them too hard because I think they're still a very strong team |
| 20 |
Iowa State
|
Dropped four spots for me. Only thing keeping them in is their sheer talent. Especially the talent of one Monte Morris. |
| 21 |
West Virginia
|
Lost to Temple |
| 22 |
Virginia Tech
|
Lost, but then turned it around with a good win on Sunday. |
| 23 |
South Carolina
|
Their defense has looked very strong in wins over Michigan and Syracuse |
| 24 |
Maryland
|
No tough opponents, but they've looked good. |
| 25 |
Butler
|
Butler is undefeated, and has quality wins too. |
