PSUMediaPA's Week 2 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kansas | A huge victory over UNC keeps them as my #1. |
| 2 | UConn | |
| 3 | Duke | |
| 4 | Alabama | A closer-than-expected game against Arkansas State moves them down a spot against Duke this week after Duke took care of business. |
| 5 | Arizona | |
| 6 | Auburn | |
| 7 | Purdue | |
| 8 | Gonzaga | Gonzaga jumps the three teams that lost this past week. |
| 9 | Houston | Houston's fall is slightly greater than UNCs since Auburn was originally 10th for me. |
| 10 | North Carolina | It's not a bad loss, so they won't move much imo. |
| 11 | Baylor | Baylor's loss to Gonzaga lands them here. |
| 12 | Iowa State | |
| 13 | Tennessee | |
| 14 | Marquette | |
| 15 | Kentucky | |
| 16 | Indiana | |
| 17 | Arkansas | They fall some, but a loss to ranked Baylor team won't drop them too much. |
| 18 | Illinois | |
| 19 | Creighton | |
| 20 | Rutgers | |
| 21 | Ohio State | Earns a spot in the poll after a decisive win over Texas. |
| 22 | Saint Mary's | |
| 23 | Cincinnati | Joins my poll after doing well this week. |
| 24 | Texas A&M | They played on the road at UCF, if it were a neutral or home loss they'd be out. |
| 25 | Florida | Next 5 Out: Ole Miss, Xavier, Penn State, Wake Forest, and Florida State |
Overall Rationale
It was a great first week of college basketball. There were a ton of top 25 matchups which creates movement everywhere. No major "upsets" other than the Ohio State win in my opinion which catapulted Texas out of my poll for a bit. Let's see how next week goes!
