Tygorz's Week 3 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga +0 - Still the best win of the season on their resume
2 Kansas +0 - Pre-season #1, win against MSU feels a little underwhelming after their Bowling Green first half
3UConn +0 - Haven't lost in a LONG time
4 Auburn +0 - Major title contender
5 North Carolina +0 - Taking care of business
6Purdue + 6 - Controlled the game against Alabama for a really nice win that will be better in March
7 Kentucky + 16 - All the newcomers came together in a HUGE win
8 Iowa State +1 - Definite title contender, maybe the best ISU team in my lifetime
9Houston +2 - Rebounded nicely this week
10Tennessee -2 - Can't move up a team beating up on 300+ kenpom teams
11 Florida +4 - Schedule has been weak, but FSU win is a quality one
12 Duke - 5 - Youth showed in a tough neutral site game against UK
13Texas Tech +0 - Taking care of business
14 Cincinnati +3 - Just keep on winning
15Baylor +1 - Rebounded nicely after opening loss to Gonzaga
16 Memphis +2 - Just keep winning
17 Marquette +3 - Sneaky good road win at an improved Maryland team
18 Alabama -12 - Disappointing loss at Purdue, but should bounce back
19 Arkansas +2 - Home loss to Baylor will end up being a good one
20Illinois -1 - The Oakland 1-1-3 really caused problems. Shooting team will be able to beat anyone, or struggle on the road if shots don't fall
21 St. John's +2 - Time to start recognizing what the vampire is doing out east
22 Arizona -12 - Wisconsin is a tough place to play, disappointing maturity with 100 fouls
23 Saint Mary's NR - Nice neutral win against Nebraska
24 Ohio State -10 - Couldn't string together back to back nice wins
25 Indiana -1 - Cupcake schedule but nice win home against South Carolina

Overall Rationale

Not a lot of movement this week, but schedules will begin getting tougher!
