Submitted on Sunday, December 10, 2017 at 11:04PM EST
FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan State
|
(+1) Took care of business against Rutgers and Southern Utah like they should've, Duke lost so here they are. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
(+2) Handily beat my (12) Gonzaga in a pseudo home game, Mikal Bridges is the 2nd best M. Bridges in CBB. |
| 3 |
Wichita State
|
(+3) They didn't lose, 3 teams in front of them did. Still managing to hang in the top 5 without McDuffie, impressive. |
| 4 |
Miami (FL)
|
(+4) Their road win over Minnesota lost a lot of luster this week, but they are still undefeated. Extremely close between them & Duke here. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
(-4) Lost their first true ACC road game @BC. Bad loss, but they are young and nobody's perfect. They'll be alright. |
| 6 |
Arizona State
|
(+10) UW beating Kansas makes ASU's win @Phog a tad less impressive but its still a great win. I'd still take Duke or Miami on a neutral. |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
(+2) It would be cool if they played a team who have a pulse, anyway, a bunch of teams in front of them lost and they have top 5 talent. |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
(+3) Taking care of business since the MSU game. Big road test against (20) Tennessee next week. |
| 9 |
Xavier
|
(+6) Beat up on Kent State and Colorado, that ASU loss looks better every week. #QualityLoss |
| 10 |
Texas A&M
|
(-) Lost a neutral to an Arizona team that may be figuring it out again, would drop them in a normal week but this isn't a normal week. |
| 11 |
West Virginia
|
(+6) Beat UVA at home and Pitt on the road. Lots of teams lost so big jump for them. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
(-) Lost what I consider a road game to (2) Villanova, would've liked to see them make it a little closer but can't blame em. |
| 13 |
Kansas
|
(-11) Dropped 2 road games to a sub 100 KenPom UW team and ASU. Bad week for the Jayhawks, they've got ? marks but should be alright. |
| 14 |
Seton Hall
|
(+5) Obliterated VCU. Benefited from the chaos this week. |
| 15 |
Virginia
|
(-2) Fell to fellow Virginians in Morgantown. Not an easy place to win by any means. |
| 16 |
Notre Dame
|
(-9) Dropped a close one to Ball State at home, pretty bad loss. |
| 17 |
TCU
|
(+5) Two good wins this week over SMU and Nevada. Jamie Dixon has them climbing. |
| 18 |
Baylor
|
(+2) Played some cupcakes this week, did what they were supposed to do. |
| 19 |
Purdue
|
(+4) Took care of business against Valpo and IUPUI. Not much going on for them this week. |
| 20 |
Florida
|
(-15) What in the hell happened? Lost at home to FSU and Loyola-Chicago... win over Cincinnati who was ranked is why they stay in. |
| 21 |
Tennessee
|
(NR) Overlooked them last week, big test this week when they get my (8) UNC at home. |
| 22 |
Arizona
|
(NR) American Arizona >>> Bahamas Arizona. Big win over aTm this week and a road win over UNLV to go with it. |
| 23 |
Florida State
|
(NR) Killed Florida on the road before they lost to Loyola, huge win for FSU to win their first big road test. |
| 24 |
Texas Tech
|
(NR) Another team I overlooked last week, beat a Nevada team who was ranked but had a rough week in OT. |
| 25 |
Cincinnati
|
(-8) Have lost pretty much every game against talented opponents, still high on the talent this team has. |
