vikinick's Ballot for Week 7 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
This team still scares me. Last week's poll: http://cbbpoll.com/ballot/4032 |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Had a close call against Notre Dame. Close enough for me to swap them with Duke, who looks pretty amazing right now. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
Nothing changed |
| 4 |
UCLA
|
Nothing really changed from last week. |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
A win over UNC at a neutral court is good enough to jump Baylor at this point. |
| 6 |
Baylor
|
They didn't do much this week, but Kentucky had a big win. As teams start losing, if they keep winning I'll put them higher |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
Bot teams that I had in 7&8 lost. They beat Tennessee by 10 but need to learn how I close out games. |
| 8 |
Louisville
|
This isn't so much their performance as much as it is the failure of the teams ahead of them |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
Teams above them just don't look as good. |
| 10 |
Virginia
|
They'll tag along behind West Virginia until one of them loses probably. |
| 11 |
North Carolina
|
They sort of redeemed their near-loss to Tennessee with a close fight against Kentucky. Still lose a spots for a loss. Could be worse. |
| 12 |
Wisconsin
|
Slowly creeping up my rankings. The team nobody seems to be talking about really. |
| 13 |
Purdue
|
Quality win over Notre Dame, who I might have underrated a bit. Continue on the path to the top 10. |
| 14 |
Arizona
|
Close win over a really good Texas A&M team. |
| 15 |
Xavier
|
Quality win over Wake Forest this week helps them bounce back from last week a bit. |
| 16 |
Butler
|
If they hadn't lost to Indiana State I'd have them a bit higher than this. But they did beat Indiana. |
| 17 |
Indiana
|
Stop beating teams high ranked and losing to low-ranked teams. Bad Hoosiers, bad. |
| 18 |
Saint Mary's
|
They did some stat-padding against some pretty bad teams at home this week. |
| 19 |
Oregon
|
Placeholder until the UNLV game is over. |
| 20 |
Creighton
|
Who the fuck is Oral Roberts and how the fuck did you almost lose to them at home? |
| 21 |
Florida State
|
You didn't lose to Manhattan at a neutral court. Congrats, I guess? (NOTE: this ranking does not include Monday's game). |
| 22 |
Notre Dame
|
Two losses in a row hurts, but it hurts more how close they were until the end for both |
| 23 |
USC
|
Bit scary against Troy for a while. |
| 24 |
Cincinnati
|
I've been underrating them for a while now. They deserve a ranking. |
| 25 |
Texas A&M
|
The "Fuck it" ranking: Dropped from Rankings: South Carolina, Wichita State, Auburn |
