billsnewera's Ballot for Week 3 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
The best keeps getting better. Grayson Allen was out of his mind on Tuesday |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Weird game against UK, sad Kansas is missing out on an early-season tourney |
| 3 |
Arizona
|
Non-con really picks up for them the next two weeks, then we'll find out who they really are |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
There was a triple OT game on Big Monday between Kansas and Oklahoma a few years ago. MSU/Duke was the best regular season game since that. |
| 5 |
Wichita State
|
Absolutely decimated a team in the upper ranks of the mid-majors |
| 6 |
Villanova
|
Fortune 500 company |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 8 |
Florida
|
Did not have a great week, they will be somebody to watch at the PK80 |
| 9 |
USC
|
|
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
The saddest part of the PK80 is going to be UNC/Portland at dinnertime Thursday |
| 11 |
Notre Dame
|
|
| 12 |
Louisville
|
I read today Sagarin calls for a 9-pt victory over UK during Christmas week. These guys are solid |
| 13 |
Cincinnati
|
I'm already getting excited for Wichita/Cincy rounds 1, 2, and likely 3 |
| 14 |
Miami (FL)
|
These guys may be riding the coattails of their football team honestly, UM never has a strong non-con |
| 15 |
Minnesota
|
Solid week for the Gophers, can they catch MSU this year? |
| 16 |
Alabama
|
See Miami comment :) |
| 17 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 18 |
Texas A&M
|
|
| 19 |
Xavier
|
|
| 20 |
Baylor
|
I may still be higher on these guys than the polls are but Big XII is DEEP |
| 21 |
West Virginia
|
|
| 22 |
Purdue
|
NEW: They looked just as solid as last year's team against Marquette on Tuesday |
| 23 |
Saint Mary's
|
|
| 24 |
Providence
|
NEW: Played a strong game against Minnesota and outclassed Saint Louis and UW in the 2K |
| 25 |
Seton Hall
|
26 Creighton, 27 UCLA, 28 UVA, 29 Michigan, 30 Oregon, thinking about: Nevada |
