TheRealHenryG's Week 3 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | Dominant so far. Should cover against Gonzaga. |
| 2 | Marquette | @Illinois is an awesome win. |
| 3 | Arizona | @Duke is the best win in the country. Liked Marquette more coming into the year. |
| 4 | Kansas | Like the Kentucky win more than the Wisconsin win that Tennessee has. |
| 5 | Tennessee | Tennessee hasn't done anything wrong but other teams have really impressed. Too early to tell. |
| 6 | Houston | Handled red-hot Utah and Dayton teams, pulled away with ease in the second half. |
| 7 | Creighton | win over Iowa. |
| 8 | UConn | I think Indiana is pretty bad so that win doesn't move the needle for me. |
| 9 | Baylor | win over Auburn. |
| 10 | Kentucky | Played great against Kansas. |
| 11 | Duke | Michigan State win is a great rebound. |
| 12 | Texas A&M | Some close wins lately. Something to watch. Win @ Ohio State |
| 13 | Alabama | Utterly dominant so far |
| 14 | Gonzaga | Win over good Yale team. Undefeated. Will move them down if they lose by 10+ to Purdue. |
| 15 | Miami (FL) | despite nearly losing to FIU, Miami has proven me wrong so far this year. |
| 16 | Auburn | Great tournament. Good rebound after Baylor loss. |
| 17 | Virginia | Getting a lot of hype but won by 3 in their only high major game. Something to watch. |
| 18 | BYU | Beat SDSU. Undefeated. |
| 19 | Mississippi State | Three power conference wins |
| 20 | James Madison | Radford was a close call. One more, and I will drop them. |
| 21 | Memphis | win at missouri |
| 22 | Arkansas | Saw the loss to UNCG, can't unsee the exhibition against Purdue. |
| 23 | Oregon | win over Georgia. Undefeated. |
| 24 | Liberty | Volume of wins against good comp |
| 25 | Providence | 2/3 in power conf. games |
