Submitted on Sunday, December 10, 2017 at 11:06PM EST
FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
You could flip 1 and 2 at this point. They're super close in my opinion either way. |
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
Same as above. Basically you could flip them and I would agree either way |
| 3 |
Arizona State
|
Blowout win against Xavier and then beating Kansas @ Kansas without any blemishes on their record. |
| 4 |
North Carolina
|
It's looking more and more like their loss to Michigan State was just one bad game. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
THEY FINALLY LOST. The last few games they've played down to their opponents so hard and they're lucky to only have lost once. |
| 6 |
Wichita State
|
Yes. I am ranking them above Notre Dame. No, they did not lose to Ball State. |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
Their only loss was to ASU and they beat Cincy. |
| 8 |
Baylor
|
Turns out when your only losses are to future top 10 teams, you might actually be pretty good |
| 9 |
Kentucky
|
Their only loss was to Kansas and they're definitely looking better than they were. Also yes I ranked them above Kansas, bite me. |
| 10 |
Notre Dame
|
Ball. State. |
| 11 |
Kansas
|
Two losses, one at a "neutral" (lol) court against the Huskies and one at home against ASU (understandable). They've divebombed a bit. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
They lost to Nova but won as they should against everyone else so I'm ranking them where they were last week. |
| 13 |
Texas A&M
|
Finally lost... to Arizona. Feels Bad. Their wins haven't been too impressive to me either, other than West Virginia in the first game. |
| 14 |
West Virginia
|
Impressive win over Virginia. They should keep it up. |
| 15 |
Miami (FL)
|
I'd have them higher if they'd actually played anyone worth ranking. |
| 16 |
Virginia
|
Disappointing loss to WVU, hopefully they can bounce back and beat the top teams in the ACC. |
| 17 |
Florida
|
Yikes. Losses to FSU and Loyola Chicago. This ain't good basketball. Thankfully they beat Cincinatti to salvage the week. |
| 18 |
Seton Hall
|
Looking like a good team this year. Close win vs. Louisville (who I have at 26ish) last week is enough for me to put them in the high teens. |
| 19 |
TCU
|
Still undefeated, but a higher SoS than Georgetown so they get ranked. |
| 20 |
Tennessee
|
Only loss is to Villanova. Wins against Georgia Tech and Purdue. |
| 21 |
Cincinnati
|
Unimpressive losses to the only 2 ranked teams they've played so far. |
| 22 |
Texas Tech
|
Beat Nevada, only lost to Seton Hall. Not too shabby. |
| 23 |
Creighton
|
Only losses are to Gonzaga and Baylor, both top 15 teams in my book. |
| 24 |
Florida State
|
Win against Miami and no losses, but I still have a few questions about them. We'll see how they do in the conference. |
| 25 |
Texas
|
Not ranked: Lville,RI. Then Georgetown, owners of the weakest Strength of Schedule. They literally haven't played a top 150 team. |
