Di9ForLife's Week 4 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gonzaga | Still have no reason to believe they aren't the best team right now |
| 2 | Auburn | Maui will be a massive test for Auburn, not to even mention they're playing Duke the week afterwards |
| 3 | Kansas | Their matchup against Duke in Vegas is gonna be must see TV |
| 4 | Houston | We'll see what Houston is really made of in Feast Week, but I think they'll handle Notre Dame easily at least. Can they stop Bama's offense though? |
| 5 | UConn | Maui winner jumps up to #1? Could easily see it for UConn and Auburn if either of them win |
| 6 | Tennessee | Massive win over Baylor, whether they're on fraud watch or not |
| 7 | Duke | Impressive road win over Arizona, who hasn't looked amazing but I think will end up alright |
| 8 | Kentucky | We haven't seen the best of UK yet, and that could honestly be terrifying for the rest of the league |
| 9 | Marquette | Arguably the most impressive win of the week. I had a feeling everyone jumped the gun on Purdue and that Marquette could beat them but I didn't think they would blow them out |
| 10 | Iowa State | Another team playing in Maui that has a chance to really turn some heads in Feast Week. |
| 11 | Alabama | Good win over Illinois but this team needs to improve defensively. |
| 12 | North Carolina | Ditto to ISU. |
| 13 | Purdue | As I said above, I knew everyone jumped the gun on Purdue after they beat Bama (who I was admittedly too high on to start the year), gonna be an up and down year for the Boilermakers. |
| 14 | Mississippi State | Mississippi State continues their campaign as the most under the radar SEC team with a good road win over a probably underrated SMU team |
| 15 | Illinois | Rough loss to Bama but I still think Illinois is gonna end up good. |
| 16 | St. John's | Similar case here, I think St. John's will be solid but they did lose convincingly to Georgia, who might also be pretty underrated |
| 17 | Cincinnati | Cincy just keeps climbing |
| 18 | Arkansas | They looked way better against Little Rock at times but still only won by 12 in the end. |
| 19 | Creighton | Kinda got manhandled on their own court against Nebraska, yikes. Cracks continue to appear in Creighton's armor (who else remembers UTRGV playing them close?) |
| 20 | Arizona | Completely folded against Duke's defense, I'm starting to question Arizona, especially after also losing against a Wisconsin team that I'm not sold on yet |
| 21 | Baylor | Officially on fraud watch, I mean they didn't even try to keep it close against Tennessee |
| 22 | Wisconsin | 7-0 is impressive but I have a feeling it's gonna end up being all smoke and mirrors for Wisconsin. Still have to rank them for winning the whole thing at Greenbrier though. |
| 23 | Florida | Not much to report about Florida but I'm starting to believe in them |
| 24 | Ohio State | Losing Aaron Bradshaw will definitely hurt OSU some but they have enough weapons (namely John Mobley) to remain competitive |
| 25 | Indiana | IU has a good roster but I still don't know if I believe in Woodson, we'll see how they fare against Louisville in Atlantis. |
