Wazzup44's Week 4 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 Purdue Won Maui
2 Marquette Great showing in Maui, especially against Kansas
3Houston Looking strong
4 UConn Same
5 Kansas Still looking good overall despite a lackluster semifinal in Maui
6Arizona Good win against Michigan State to continue momentum
7 Tennessee Two losses to top 5 teams should not drop the vols a lot
8 Gonzaga Lost to the number 1 team and took care of business in the loser's bracket. No change in my rankings this week.
9Baylor For a moment looked vulnerable against Florida, but in the end showed they should be a top ten team
10Duke Continuing to look strong against anyone not named Arizona
11 Kentucky Same but with Kansas, if we ignore the overtime win. But a win is a win, so I won't drop them for that.
12 Miami (FL) We'll see what the Canes are made of with their first real test of the season this week against Kentucky
13BYU There are four undefeated dark horses that I feel should be ranked fairly high. This is one of them
14 Mississippi State This is another
15Colorado State Oh hey, a third
16 James Madison Number four here
17 Florida Atlantic FAU and Villanova going off this week made it way harder than it should have been.
18 Villanova Thanks a lot for having bad losses last week before being good this week.
19 North Carolina Close loss to Villanova. This seems like a reasonable spot.
20Creighton Only loss is to a team I have highly ranked
21 Texas Same
22 Illinois Same
23 Michigan State I'm still giving Sparty a chance. 3-3, but two of those are top ten, and the other is 16. I say they should still be ranked for now.
24 Texas A&M They slot in here after losing to FAU
25 Ohio State Decent wins bring them up to right behind the team they lost to earlier in the year

Overall Rationale

Next 5: Alabama, Memphis, Oklahoma, San Diego State, UCLA. I normally don't do explanations, but this week seemed more difficult than most, so I wanted to explain a little bit of my rational if some of my rankings are seen as crazy.
