OldManEllus's Ballot for Week 13 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kansas
|
Felt like ranked us outside the top 3 after the WVU game, but a gutsy win at UK makes me realize what this team is capable of. |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 3 |
Villanova
|
|
| 4 |
Baylor
|
|
| 5 |
Arizona
|
Struggled some vs Washington, but handled the second half exactly how a top team should. |
| 6 |
Virginia
|
Had a nice week despite last second loss to Nova. I thought UVA definitely played well enough to win. |
| 7 |
Louisville
|
|
| 8 |
Kentucky
|
Played pretty poorly vs KU after a bad road loss, yet only lost by 6. Their potential is ridiculously high, but they aren't getting there. |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
Would be ranked higher if they could manage to play better vs lower level competition. Looked great vs KU, but allowed A&M stay too close |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 11 |
Oregon
|
|
| 12 |
UCLA
|
Defensive struggles are catching up to them. |
| 13 |
Wisconsin
|
|
| 14 |
Florida State
|
|
| 15 |
Saint Mary's
|
|
| 16 |
Cincinnati
|
Didn't expect to rank them this high, but enough other teams losing combined with 12 straight wins will make that happen. |
