Senior_Chang's Ballot for Week 2 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
I don't see much reason to move most teams this week, 1 game doesn't tell much. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
My top 3 stay the same |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
not much to say here |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
|
| 5 |
Arizona
|
Had UNC at 4 last week, mostly because preseason, and I probably tend to overrank the prior year's winner |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
I do think they deserve to be up here, though. |
| 7 |
Wichita State
|
|
| 8 |
Florida
|
might have the weakest resume so far, imo, and play in a mid major conference |
| 9 |
Texas A&M
|
Big jump here. Beat WVU by 20+ without Robert Williams, I'm jumping on this hype train |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 11 |
Cincinnati
|
|
| 12 |
Notre Dame
|
|
| 13 |
USC
|
|
| 14 |
Kentucky
|
Drop a bit this week with tight game to Vermont. But they won. and are talented. and still have Calipari. |
| 15 |
Xavier
|
|
| 16 |
Seton Hall
|
|
| 17 |
Louisville
|
I had left them off my ballot last week after spending much consideration. The talent is there, we'll see how their season plays out |
| 18 |
Miami (FL)
|
|
| 19 |
Minnesota
|
Ranked Minnesota, but left off Northwestern this week for their tight game |
| 20 |
Saint Mary's
|
It might not mean much as the season goes on. End of the day, wins matter |
| 21 |
Purdue
|
|
| 22 |
Baylor
|
|
| 23 |
TCU
|
|
| 24 |
Alabama
|
New to my rankings this week, after I dropped WVU (certainly could stay- A&M is a GOOD team) and Northwestern |
| 25 |
Virginia
|
Honorable Mentions: Missouri, West Virginia, SMU, Northwestern |
