Senior_Chang's Ballot for Week 11 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
was just looking- this is my 55th ballot I've done with the poll, one of the longer tenured pollsters |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
I feel that I've been less active in game threads this year, as well as watching less hoops |
| 3 |
Purdue
|
People always say (me included!) a certain week is really hard-- but there's certainly some tough choices this week |
| 4 |
West Virginia
|
The Big 12 is doing a good job of starting to cannibalize |
| 5 |
Oklahoma
|
I like WVU the best right now, also think they have the "best loss" |
| 6 |
Texas Tech
|
After that, Oklahoma and Tech have really proved themselves |
| 7 |
Duke
|
anyway, yeah feel like I've watched less, I got into an NBA fantasy league and have put some time into that and am in grad school.. |
| 8 |
Wichita State
|
Not sure where I'm going with this, but I'm hoping to be a little more active as the year goes on. I still check the sub daily |
| 9 |
Cincinnati
|
it's been great to be with the poll so long, I look forward to it every week. |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
Back in 2015, when Wisconsin made a run to the national championship, they inexplicably lost to Rutgers. People tried to excuse by saying |
| 11 |
Kansas
|
Kaminsky was out. But that Rutgers team was reeeaaally bad. 2 conf. wins that year, only scored 26 (8 in the 2nd half!) against UVa. |
| 12 |
Clemson
|
Quick note on Kansas- them winning all these close games is why they always win the conference. The ability to win those close ones. |
| 13 |
Gonzaga
|
Time for that good ol' Gonzaga climb |
| 14 |
Auburn
|
My point is- MSU should've just lost to Rutgers, because that's how you get to the championship |
| 15 |
Arizona
|
Clemson is approaching the top 10, and it'll be a good game this week in Chapel Hill- see if this can finally be the one Clemson wins |
| 16 |
Xavier
|
|
| 17 |
Kentucky
|
Less talk about Kentucky this year, but they're still around |
| 18 |
Arizona State
|
Slumping a bit it seems |
| 19 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 20 |
Ohio State
|
OSU emerges as a B1G contender |
| 21 |
Michigan
|
Michigan also looking very solid, especially defensively. |
| 22 |
TCU
|
it's absurd that this team is 1-4 in conference. So talented, just haven't been able to finish. |
| 23 |
Nevada
|
return to my rankings, their close losses to TCU and Texas Tech look impressive right now but leave 2 big what ifs |
| 24 |
Miami (FL)
|
|
| 25 |
Seton Hall
|
Honorable Mentions: Tennessee, Saint Mary's, Rhode Island, Creighton |
