billsnewera's Ballot for Week 13 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
The behavior at Michigan State University this week was unconscionable, including |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
allowing Tom Izzo to coach the game against Wisconsin only hours after a report on |
| 3 |
Purdue
|
previous non-trivial investigations into the program and university exposed a likely |
| 4 |
Duke
|
cover-up situation, whereby MSU created a culture that allowed Larry Nassar to thrive. |
| 5 |
Xavier
|
I grew up quietly rooting for Tom and the Spartans, while being a fan of other teams, because |
| 6 |
Cincinnati
|
I thought he was different from the rest, he was above the nonsense that plagued other |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
programs. It was with a heavy heart that I spoke very negatively this week about a man |
| 8 |
West Virginia
|
and university I had great respect for. The Green and White would be 5th on my ballot this |
| 9 |
Arizona
|
week, but I've chosen to leave them off in light of cold-hearted statements and claims of |
| 10 |
Texas Tech
|
innocence surrounding the program. By next Monday, MSU will return to its rightful place |
| 11 |
North Carolina
|
in the top ten of my ballot. |
