ouguy2017's Ballot for Week 12 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
(1) Continues to roll |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
(2) Debated Purdue here. Ultimately, Virginia has faced tougher competition. Big week for Virginia vs Clemson and at Duke |
| 3 |
Purdue
|
(4) See above. Michigan at home this week |
| 4 |
Duke
|
(6) vs Virginia this week. Ought to be a fun one |
| 5 |
Cincinnati
|
(8) Don't like Cincinnati this high, but no one else really fits either. Big drop off after 4 |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
(9) |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
(13) |
| 8 |
Xavier
|
(14) |
| 9 |
Arizona
|
(10) Close games scare me to rank them this high, but nobody else really deserves it either. |
| 10 |
Kansas
|
(11) Great comeback win at WVU, and then you almost lost at home to Baylor. Big 12 is weird, but congrats on 14 straight |
| 11 |
West Virginia
|
(3) Bad loss at home due to the nature of it. Blew out Texas. Ultimately fell due to a correction this week with Big 12 teams in their ranks |
| 12 |
Ohio State
|
(23) Major jump after not losing. Also playing really well |
| 13 |
Gonzaga
|
(16) Lost at home, which normally would drop them. St. Mary's is underrated though |
| 14 |
Auburn
|
(17) Lost at Bama, but rebounded well in their next game. Free throws, free throws, free throws. |
| 15 |
Texas Tech
|
(5) Lost at Texas, and then blown out at Iowa State. Texas Tech is lucky they aren't getting the OU/Wichita State treatment from me. |
| 16 |
Clemson
|
(24) Lost at UNC for the 59th straight time, but it was by single digits (party!). |
| 17 |
Tennessee
|
(18) |
| 18 |
Saint Mary's
|
(UR) Great win at Gonzaga, but this resume still is bad |
| 19 |
Creighton
|
(20) Great win vs Seton Hall, and then you blew it against Providence |
| 20 |
Seton Hall
|
(15) Bad week for Seton Hall. Lost to both ranked teams, 1 at home, 1 on the road. |
| 21 |
Michigan
|
(20) Bad loss at Iowa, but you did go 2-1 this week. Also, B1G scheduling is really dumb |
| 22 |
Florida
|
(UR) Welcome back. |
| 23 |
Kansas State
|
(UR) Welcome. Great week, even if both were at home. Now go steal some road wins |

|
(UR) Welcome |
| 25 |
Arizona State
