wichita_gator's Ballot for Week 4 of 2017-18
Submitted on Monday, November 27, 2017 at 3:21AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
Duke kept coming back in the PK80, and won the whole thing. Bagley is insane (he could still be in high school WTF)! |
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
Loss to Duke looks less bad, plus they smothered North Carolina. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
Beat Kentucky and haven't lost yet. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
Won the Battle 4 Atlantis over unexpected competition. |
| 5 |
Texas A&M
|
Impressive wins so far this season, including: WVU, Penn St., Okla St., and USC. |
| 6 |
Florida
|
Held the lead for most of the 2nd half against Duke, plus beat a good Gonzaga team in 2OT. |
| 7 |
Notre Dame
|
Notre Dame came back to "shock" (hahahahahaha so original) Wichita State in Maui. |
| 8 |
Cincinnati
|
Still riding high preseason expectations. Plus surviving the nightmare Cayman Island Classic deserves an award. |
| 9 |
Wichita State
|
Led most of the game against Notre Dame but couldn't close it out. Still lacking a big win as of now but I'm riding my homer expectations. |
| 10 |
Minnesota
|
I like their wins over Providence and Alabama, even if one was 3v5 for 10 minutes. |
| 11 |
Miami (FL)
|
Like Cincinnati, I have them riding on their preseason expectations. They could snatch a win over Minnesota this week. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
Gonzaga's only loss is in 2OT thriller to Florida. Got 3rd, but I believe all of top 3 were capable of first. |
| 13 |
Baylor
|
Baylor looked good Wisconsin and Creighton in the Hall of Fame Classic earlier in the week. |
| 14 |
North Carolina
|
North Carolina looked good against Arkansas and bad against Michigan State. |
| 15 |
Kentucky
|
I mean they didn't lose 3 straight like another Wildcat team. |
| 16 |
Arizona State
|
Tra Holder tho O.O (40 points in a win over an Xavier team I was/am really confident in). |
| 17 |
Virginia
|
Undefeated with wins over VCU and URI. |
| 18 |
USC
|
Want to drop them farther but preseason expectations, idk. But Texas A&M is really, really good so can't blame 'em too much. |
| 19 |
Texas Tech
|
Undefeated with good wins, blah blah blah (stayed up too late to do this). |
| 20 |
West Virginia
|
Making up for day 1 loss by winning the Advocare Invitational. |
| 21 |
Creighton
|
Beat Northwestern & UCLA, preseason darlings, and gave Baylor a run for their money. |
| 22 |
Xavier
|
It was tough picking the 20s. Teams considered include: Washington St., Louisville, Nevada, Providence, Tennessee, Alabama, TCU, Seton Hall. |
| 23 |
UNLV
|
Brandon McCoy dropped a HOT double-double in a near 30-point win over a good Utah team. |
| 24 |
Arkansas
|
Picked up good wins over Oklahoma and UConn in the PK80 but couldn't top UNC. |
| 25 |
Texas
|
Texas looked really good in two overtime losses to Duke and Gonzaga in the PK80. |
