Travbowman's Week 3 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 Auburn Kent St isn't awful, but Auburn made them look that way
2 Gonzaga Huge showdown at Viejas this week
3Kansas Now have wins over UNC and Michigan St...starting to build a great resume even before conference play
4 UConn The first part of the schedule has been....uninteresting
5 Houston Nice get-right game vs Louisiana
6Iowa State We are the Cyclones. We only play games on Mondays
7 Duke Have to drop them some after the close loss to Kentucky
8 Tennessee No Knecht, no problem
9Purdue If every game was played at Mackey, and the season only in November, Purdue would have a UCLA-esque streak going
10Alabama This offense only works if the team can shoot the 3 ball. 30.4 percent won't get it done
11 Creighton Would like to see them against a real opponent away from home
12 St. John's Good win against a solid UNM team
13Arizona Kudos to going on the road this early
14 Texas Tech Decent tests on a neutral court coming up
15Marquette Huge win at UMD
16 Cincinnati Need to see them vs a real opponent
17 North Carolina Big trip to HI coming up
18 Illinois Leaving home for the first time this week. Let's see how they do
19 Baylor Bahamas trip should be a good one
20Kentucky Had them unranked previously. I was wrong
21 Texas A&M UCF loss isn't looking so bad
22 Florida Solid win vs FSU
23 Wisconsin Made Arizona look ordinary
24 Pitt Back Yard Brawl was ugly
25 UC Irvine Zot.

Overall Rationale
