OhioBornSoonerBred's Ballot for Week 9 of 2014-15| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
Clear #1 |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Clear #2, or 1B |
| 3 |
Wisconsin
|
|
| 4 |
Virginia
|
Had to grind out wins over Davidson and Miami, but still undefeated |
| 5 |
Louisville
|
Bounced back and beat a deceptively good Long Beach State team and snuck past Wake Forest on the road. |
| 6 |
Arizona
|
Same story as last week, but bounced back against ASU |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
Interchangeable with Arizona with how close their game earlier this year was |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
First loss of the year, but it was close and on the road against a surging Seton Hall team |
| 9 |
Kansas
|
Played a really, really tough schedule so far |
| 10 |
Texas
|
Both losses came without Isaiah Taylor, now they're at full strength with the Big XII gauntlet ahead |
| 11 |
Utah
|
Absolutely destroyed UCLA |
| 12 |
Maryland
|
Not totally sold on them yet, but winning at Michigan State is always tough and they keep winning. |
| 13 |
West Virginia
|
Beat TCU on the road without Juwan Staten, not a bad win at all |
| 14 |
Notre Dame
|
Not impressing, but they keep on winning |
| 15 |
Iowa State
|
Apparently they forgot how to shoot 3-pointers against South Carolina |
| 16 |
Oklahoma
|
Good win over Baylor to open Big XII play |
| 17 |
North Carolina
|
Convincing road win to open ACC play, but have a couple tough home games coming up |
| 18 |
VCU
|
Played a good non-conference schedule |
| 19 |
Wichita State
|
Not sold on this team yet and there's a bunch of teams that fit from the 19-30 range |
| 20 |
Baylor
|
Lost on the road to a higher-ranked team to open conference play, no real reason to drop them...yet |
| 21 |
Seton Hall
|
Wins over St. Johns and Villanova are hard to ignore |
| 22 |
Old Dominion
|
Have been lurking for a while, but with all the losses, it's about time for them to fit in the rankings somewhere |
| 23 |
Colorado State
|
First loss of the year in a tough road environment |
| 24 |
LSU
|
Beat WVU on the road earlier in the season and haven't looked back. They get Kentucky at home later in the year... |
| 25 |
Ohio State
