ncaafan2's Ballot for Week 13 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |

Kind of nice to not have to shake up my top3 for a change - all three played well, and won tight games on the road in hostile environments |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
|
| 3 |
Purdue
|
|
| 4 |
Michigan State

Program is facing a lot of adversity right now, but that rally in the second half over Maryland was impressive and good to see |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
|
| 6 |
Arizona
|
|
| 7 |
Duke
|
No shame in losing to Virginia who just might be the best team in the country - but it still felt like one they should have won and blew lat |
| 8 |
Xavier
|
|
| 9 |
Cincinnati
|
|
| 10 |
Auburn
|
The best of the SEC and they just keep winning |
| 11 |
West Virginia

The second teir of the B12 is very hard to seperate - all seem to be on a downward slide, but still seem like they could play with anyone |
| 12 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 13 |
Oklahoma
|
|
| 14 |
Saint Mary's
|
|
| 15 |
Ohio State

Can't blame them too harshly for losing a game to PSU when they shot 80% from 3 and won on a ridiculous half court buzzer beater |
| 16 |
Tennessee
|
|
| 17 |
Kansas State
|
They have really impressed me of late and backed it up with some great wins of late. Excited to see them get KU Monday night at home |

| 20 |
North Carolina

Wichita State

|
| 22 |
Florida
|
Lost to a very under-rated USC team, but rebounded with a dominant win over Baylor to show that when they are on, they are very hard to beat |
| 23 |
Kentucky
|
One of the more impressive wins this year in that comeback against WVU in Morgantown |
| 24 |
Arizona State
|
On a downward slide, but still have a decent resume with some high quality wins that keep them in the t25 for me |
| 25 |
Nevada

Next 5: Clemson, Boise St, Michigan, Alabama, Creighton |
