rickym24's Ballot for Week 2 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
Tre Jones will determine how far this team is able to go. 0 turnovers against UK is a good start. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Dedric Lawson is pretty good at this basketball thing, freshman guards are too. |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
No Tillie, no problem. |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
We'll see how much this team misses Hall and Wilkins, Hunter should help fill that void. |
| 5 |
Tennessee
|
Admiral Schofield remains the greatest name in history |
| 6 |
Nevada
|
Handled BYU well to start the season. Jordan Caroline is going to be a problem. |
| 7 |
Auburn
|
Handled a ranked UW team with absolutely no issues. |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
They have attempted 69 three point shots this season. Nice. |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
PG is still going to be the biggest factor in determining how far this team goes with its Senior led core + Nassir Little. |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
Junior class is going to have to lead this team better than it did at the beginning of the KU game, they clawed back in it though. |
| 11 |
Kentucky
|
Duke won't play that well again and UK probably won't play that bad. I think they are going to be just fine. (RIP Rupp Rafters btw). |
| 12 |
Syracuse
|
Buddy Boeheim. That's all. |
| 13 |
Florida State
|
Destroyed Florida at home without Cofer. Impressive game for the Noles. |
| 14 |
Kansas State
|
Bunch of returners from last years run. We all like to think they could win the B12 but we also all know it won't happen. |
| 15 |
Oregon
|
Bol Bol is an alien, I am sure of it. No 7'3 kid should move like that. |
| 16 |
Virginia Tech
|
Losing players for any reason is never good, I think the Hokies will be able to survive it though. |
| 17 |
Michigan
|
I try not to bet against John Belein very much |
| 18 |
Mississippi State
|
The hot newcomer this year, let's see if they live up to it. Quinndary is a cool name too. |
| 19 |
Clemson
|
David Skara leading score, never thought I'd type that out. |
| 20 |
West Virginia
|
Yeah they lost at home to Buffalo but that isn't a bad team. They'll get it figured out. |
| 21 |
LSU
|
Beat a tough UNCG team at home. Tremont Waters is a good basketball player. |
| 22 |
Purdue
|
Couple of meh wins against meh teams this week. |
| 23 |
UCLA
|
Couple of meh wins against meh teams this week x2. |
| 24 |
Marquette
|
They play my (25) Indiana this week on the road, should tell us a lot about both teams. |

Indiana

They play my (24) Marquette at home this week. Should tell us a lot about both teams. |
