tACorruption's Ballot for Week 3 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
(Change) (1)Huge win and not even full strength, that's good enough for me |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
(1)Although the game rarely resembled basketball, Kansas still picks up one of the best wins of the young season |
| 3 |
Arizona
|
(-2)Still the best team in the country, but high profile wins for Duke and Kansas move them up the board |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
(--) |
| 5 |
Texas A&M
|
(1)They may not be the 5th best team in the nation, but without many impressive profiles surrounding them they've earned this spot |
| 6 |
Florida
|
(2) |
| 7 |
Wichita State
|
(2) |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
(3)Won't drop much for a loss to Duke |
| 9 |
Kentucky
|
(2)I know people will hate UK being ranked this high, but I think it's realistic |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
(2)Not ready to have them jump MSU just yet, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they do very soon |
| 11 |
USC
|
(-1)This slight drop isn't really to punish them for a hard fought OT win, Purdue has just impressed more |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
(-2)You could make a case for this team being anywhere from 10-16 on my ballot, I think 12 is about right |
| 13 |
Cincinnati
|
(--) |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
(--)There might be an offense brewing to pair with the nation's top (maybe?) defense |
| 15 |
Xavier
|
(--)Tre is a beast |
| 16 |
Miami (FL)
|
(--) |
| 17 |
West Virginia
|
(--)Who is the best one loss team in the country? WVU isn't that far behind Kentucky and MSU in this category |
| 18 |
Notre Dame
|
(--) |
| 19 |
Texas Tech
|
(NR)Okay, so NU was overrated, but to not rank this team would be a travesty. |
| 20 |
Baylor
|
(-1) |
| 21 |
TCU
|
(-1) |
| 22 |
Seton Hall
|
(-1)It was close for a bit against IU...until it wasn't. This is a good team. |
| 23 |
Minnesota

(NR)Great road win against a top 50 Providence team |
| 24 |
Louisville
|
(-2)Certainly haven't been great, but they hold for now |
