Mr_Otters's Ballot for Week 7 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
Balanced, complete, and vaporize everyone they play |
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
Post-Duke Sparty is a death machine |
| 3 |
North Carolina
|
Can just pull a big run out of their ass at anytime against anyone |
| 4 |
Arizona State
|
Yet another P6 win with an epic comeback |
| 5 |
Miami (FL)
|
Love their team, but a brutal case of "ain't played nobody" |
| 6 |
Xavier
|
I thought they were overrated based of the elite 8 run. I was wrong |
| 7 |
West Virginia
|
Exactly the West Virginia that's one so many games the past few years |
| 8 |
Kentucky
|
Ahhh at long lost a good looking win over VT, still have no good read on this team |
| 9 |
Duke
|
The exam break came at a weird time, but the front court is still terrifying |
| 10 |
Texas A&M
|
Speaking of terrifying front courts, the Davis-Hogg-Williams group is fantastic |
| 11 |
TCU
|
The one team I really need to see, it's a pretty good looking 10-0 though |
| 12 |
Purdue
|
Like another team below, have recovered nicely from their Atlantis stumbles |
| 13 |
Oklahoma
|
Trae Young doesn't care about your Buddy comparisons, or your defenses |
| 14 |
Texas Tech
|
Still one of the teams that pleasantly surprised me when watching on TV |
| 15 |
Wichita State
|
A good team without McDuffie, can he make them a great one? |
| 16 |
Virginia
|
Watching the defense in person is a site to behold, they play their asses off |
| 17 |
Kansas
|
I'm still not ready to write them off, this is a brand bias but I think a justified one |
| 18 |
Cincinnati
|
Still one of the better Cincinnati teams of the Croninberg era |
| 19 |
Baylor
|
I thought they'd miss Motley a lot more than they have |
| 20 |
Arizona
|
Don't look now but they are coming back in a hurry |
| 21 |
Seton Hall
|
Still my favorite non Nova-X team by a long shot |
| 22 |
Gonzaga
|
They've rebuilt pretty nicely given the roster turnover |
| 23 |
Clemson
|
Manhandled both Ohio State and Florida in their own gyms, stay tuned |
| 24 |
Arkansas
|
A bit under the radar, but this is yet another solid Hogs team |
| 25 |
Tennessee
|
UGH, so damn close. I like them defending their home court in SEC play though |
