FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kansas
|
Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Number 1! |
| 2 |
UCLA
|
That Win vs Arizona is by far the biggest game of their season. Thing is Lunardi gives them 0 respect |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
Butler has their number. Other than that I think this team could beat absolutely anyone |
| 4 |
Gonzaga
|
Ehh. I would move them down further but Everyone kinda lost. |
| 5 |
Oregon
|
Honestly I was on and off from moving them into the top 4. We will see what Happens this week |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
Can clinch the ACC with a win today. Fully expect them to whoop a beaten UVA |
| 7 |
Arizona
|
That Loss hurts. Now Oregon has almost guaranteed a PAC-12 conference championship. Poor Cats |
| 8 |
Kentucky
|
And just like that they are back to discussion for a 2 |
| 9 |
Louisville
|
So so week for Louisville. Still favorite to win ACCT |
| 10 |
West Virginia
|
This team got lucky vs TCU. Can't play like that and win a natty. At this rate we may see ISU get the 2 |
| 11 |
Baylor
|
Literally everyone lost that could make a move to get here, so te bears won't drop too far |
| 12 |
Florida
|
Not a bad game vs Kentucky though wasn't the best they could produce. Like I said with Baylor literally everyone lost plus they beat USC so |
| 13 |
SMU
|
GOD with everyone losing at least once in pack, SMU moves WAY up! My favorite for American Tournament |
| 14 |
Purdue
|
Is 14 the new 15? Time can only tell. But this was a bad week for Purdue. Gotta pick it up this week if they want that two lunardi gave them |
| 15 |
Florida State
|
They had a nice week of Winning. Seems they are back on track |
| 16 |
Butler
|
Great Week for the bulldogs. Maybe they do deserve that 4 seed after all |
| 17 |
Notre Dame
|
Irish focused on that 2 bye |
