hazyel's Ballot for Week 7 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
Not a dominant game vs La Salle but a win is a win and they took care of Penn and Saint Josephs. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Davidson rattled them in the first half but Kansas took care of business in the 2nd like their usual selves, winning by 18. |
| 3 |
Baylor
|
No change, great week for them against a favorable schedule and should be another easy win next for the Bears. |
| 4 |
UCLA
|
Good week for UCLA with wins over OSU by 13 and rout of UCSB. 1st in country in assists, 2nd in points. |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
Close win vs UNC after a dominant performance by Malik Monk. I think they 1 up Duke over this quality of a win, Louisville next. |
| 6 |
Duke
|
Hardly any action by Duke this week. |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
Keeping it rolling with all their team ranks equally balanced, they're a good team. Easy next couple of weeks, or should be. |
| 8 |
Creighton
|
Narrow win vs a ORU team and are against ASU, Seton Hall, and NOVA next. I don't see them hanging on that much longer. |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
I'm not sure if this team is made up of humans anymore. They're tearing up the competition with an easy next couple of games. |
| 10 |
Louisville
|
Cruising the past 3 games, they hit the Wildcats at the KFC Yum center next. |
| 11 |
North Carolina
|
Prior to the Kentucky game, they were managing narrow wins and they couldn't keep up with the Wildcats, even with Berry. |
| 12 |
Purdue
|
Great win vs Notre Dame and have looked good since the Louisville game. Next couple of games should be wins. |
| 13 |
Butler
|
Amazing last 2 games against a strong Bearcats team then beating Indiana. Exciting team. |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
Have looked alright last 2 games but face CAL, Louisville and FSU next. Yikes. |
| 15 |
Indiana
|
I don't get this team. They look soo good against top ranked teams but when they're the "better team", it just turns around. |
| 16 |
Wisconsin
|
Quiet week for the Badgers, GB win was good and great day for Hayes. Next 2 games should be in their favor. |
| 17 |
USC
|
Decisive win vs Troy, and should get wins their next 3 games until the competition hits them with Oregon. |
| 18 |
Arizona
|
Escaped against the Aggies and they've looked pretty good as of late. 23rd in country in points allowed. Upcoming schedule is shaky. |
| 19 |
Oregon
|
Dominant last 2 games but looking ahead after Fresno, they're against UCLA and USC. :o |
| 20 |
Saint Mary's
|
Great playing last 2 games and have a favorable schedule next couple of weeks until they face Gonzaga. |
| 21 |
Florida State
|
Nothing much, good win vs MAN and next few games, they should be ok. |
| 22 |
Xavier
|
I personally thought this team was overrated at the beginning of the season. The last few games, they've played bad.They need a quality win. |
| 23 |
Minnesota
|
Good performance the last few games, all they need is a huge quality win. MSU is a start, Purdue after. |
| 24 |
South Carolina
|
Very shaky the past 2 games including the Seton Hall loss. They need Thornwell or else this team is average besides Dozier. |
| 25 |
Virginia Tech
|
Biggest Moves: Butler (+8) | South Carolina (-9) & Indiana (-9) |
