themidnightmamba's Ballot for Week 7 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan State
|
I have them #1 over Nova due to how they've looked the whole year but to be honest its 1a and 1b situation |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
we have looked better earlier than I could have ever thought |
| 3 |
Arizona State
|
needed a come back to beat vandy but they still beat them and won by double digits |
| 4 |
Miami (FL)
|
almost put Duke ahead of them as that Minnesota win looks less and less impressive. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
Holding steady |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
win vs Tennessee vaults them from 8 to 6 |
| 7 |
Kentucky

I don't honestly think they are the 7th best team in the country but the lack of losses makes it tough. champs classic is make or break |
