atucker1744's Ballot for Week 9 of 2014-15| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
LW:1 If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them |
| 2 |
Duke
|
LW: 2 |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
LW: 3 |
| 4 |
Wisconsin

LW: 4 |

Arizona

Louisville
|
LW: 7, +1 |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
LW: 8, +1. |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
LW: 5, -3. Losing to Seton Hall hurts, but Seton Hall is a team just outside my top 25, so Nova will stay above some 1 loss teams |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
LW: 10, +1 |
| 10 |
Kansas
|
LW: 11, +1 |
| 11 |
Wichita State
|
LW: 12, +1 |
| 12 |
Maryland
|
LW: 17, +5. Wins over MSU and Minnesota vault 1-loss Maryland into the top 15 |
| 13 |
Iowa State
|
LW: 9, -4. The loss to South Carolina drops the Cyclones, but they have a big matchup coming up against OSU, so they need to rebound quick |
| 14 |
Texas
|
LW: 13, -1. 14-16 get hurt by the Maryland jump. Texas' big game against Oklahoma has big implications for the middle of my bracket |
| 15 |
Utah
|
LW: 14, -1. |
| 16 |
Oklahoma
|
LW: 15, -1. |
| 17 |
North Carolina
|
LW: 19, +2. Big game against Notre Dame this week will say a lot about the quality of this UNC team |
| 18 |
Notre Dame
|
LW: N/A, +8. Only 2 losses this deep into the season will put ND up in the top 20, if they beat UNC, they stay |
| 19 |
Ohio State
|
LW: 16, -3. Loss to Iowa drops OSU, but not too much as teams below them aren't much better looking so far |
| 20 |
Syracuse
|
LW: 22, +2 |
| 21 |
VCU
|
LW: 24, +3 |
| 22 |
Washington
|
LW: 20, -2. After charging into the top 10 of some polls, the Huskies have sputtered of late, with a loss to Cal this week |
| 23 |
San Diego State
|
LW: 18, -5. Losing to an average Fresno State team will drop you, especially when you already have a couple L's this year already |
| 24 |
Oregon
|
LW: 25, +1 |
| 25 |
Cincinnati
|
LW: N/A, +1. Very impressed by their season so far, and I'll give them a spot because I think they are a little overlooked so far |
