Submitted on Sunday, February 11, 2018 at 7:31PM EST
FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan State
|
Over/under for the amount of weeks Michigan St remains at #1: 0.5. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Very tough to rank the top 5 this week. Nova stays the same due to their incredible resume and win against Xavier. |
| 3 |
Xavier
|
Two big games for X this week at home: Seton Hall and #2 Nova. |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
These guys have an easy enough schedule to win out once the ACCT comes around. Starts in Miami this Tuesday. |
| 5 |
Texas Tech
|
Tech yet again comes out unscathed in the Big 12 bloodbath. Something tells me that they will have the deepest run in the Big 12 come March. |
| 6 |
Cincinnati
|
Two huge wins for Cincy. The real test comes this Sunday, when Shocker Nation comes to town. |
| 7 |
Ohio State
|
I'm gonna give them the head to head nod over Purdue after their recent victory. Can't wait for them to take on Michigan this Sunday. |
| 8 |
Purdue
|
They are two "buzzer beaters" away from being the #1 team in the country. They should bounce back when they head to Wisconsin. |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
Damn, what an impressive win against SMC on the road. I am shocked they weren't one of the top 16 seeds. |
| 10 |
Auburn
|
Auburn remains in the top 10. A&M is finally in full strength and they are back to being very tough to beat. |
| 11 |
Tennessee
|
They did get mauled by Alabama, but the Kentucky win at Rupp evens them out. |
| 12 |
Duke
|
5th loss of the season for Duke. They need more team chemistry if they wanna make it far in March. |
| 13 |
Kansas
|
What even is the Big 12 this year? Would not be surprised if Kansas goes either 0-2 or 2-0 this week. |
| 14 |
Clemson
|
This ACC team is flying under the radar. Games on the road against FSU and home Duke should be challenging. |
| 15 |
URI
|
URI continues to dominate in their conference. I honestly believe they should have been a 3 seed in the top 16 projections. |
| 16 |
North Carolina
|
Now that the Irish are finally looking like they can pull themselves together, it may be a tough game for UNC. Also good week for the Heels. |
| 17 |
Arizona
|
There are some nights where Zona looks like nobody can beat them, and there are others like the home game against UCLA. |
| 18 |
West Virginia
|
Their win at OU cancels out with their tough home loss to OSU. At least they got back on their feet. |
| 19 |
Wichita State
|
Shocker Nation benefits from a lot of teams losing this week. Will be a movie when they finally get the chance to play Cincy. |
| 20 |
Saint Mary's
|
Devastating loss to the Zags at home. They should be able to win out til their conference tourney. |
| 21 |
Texas A&M
|
They finally look like November and December Texas A&M. If they continue to play this well, the Aggies will be scary come March. |
| 22 |
Arizona State
|
This spot was down to the winner of UCLA and ASU. Sun Devils are victorious, and come back to the top 25 after a 2 week break. |
| 23 |
New Mexico State
|
Impressive comeback against rival GCU. Welcome to the top 25, Aggies. They will win at least 1 game in March. |
| 24 |
Michigan
|
Well, Michigan never does well when they play at Northwestern. Home game against OSU will be a thrill to watch. |
| 25 |
Miami (FL)
|
Three Point Chain U not out of the top 25 just yet. No other team really deserves it, to be honest. |
