ESPbeN's Ballot for Week 4 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
Swtiched 1 and 2. Honestly just eye test. |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
Not much separates them. The experience of Nova gives a slight edge. |
| 3 |
Xavier
|
|
| 4 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 5 |
Virginia
|
|
| 6 |
Kansas

Does Indiana's loss hurt the Jayhawks? Only enough to drop twice in my rankings. |
| 7 |
UCLA
|
|
| 8 |
Duke
|
|
| 9 |
Saint Mary's
|
|
| 10 |

I feel weird when teams from the same conference end up next to each other. |
| 11 |
Creighton
|
Big East Master Race |
| 12 |
Baylor
|
Has beaten Oregon, VCU, and Louisville. |
| 13 |

| 14 |
Wisconsin
|
|
| 15 |

Still beat Kansas. The UNC game is huge. |

Call me out all you want. This is an incredible offense. Looking forward to the test against Iowa. |
| 23 |
Maryland
|
|
| 24 |
Syracuse
|
They usually have one early loss and bounce back. This is still a scary team. |
| 25 |
Utah
|
Random note: Temple is an intriguing team. Not enough to rank, with two bad losses, but they beat FSU and WVU back to back. |
