TheRealHenryG's Week 7 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 UConn Jumping them over Purdue because Purdue has looked shaky a couple of times now, while UCONN showed no struggle on the road in BE.
2 Purdue
3Kansas Dominant week for the Jayhawks.
4 Houston Gutsy win on the road.
5 Arizona Huge win over UTK.
6Gonzaga Thought people wrote them off too week. Pseudo-road win in Alabama is huge, and their losses are looking fine.
7 Virginia
8 UCLA Huge road trip for UCLA, even if I've never seen super high on that UK team.
9Alabama
10Baylor
11 Tennessee Feels harsh to have them this low, but they need JJJ back.
12 Duke
13Mississippi State
14 Wisconsin Great wins and two close losses.
15Marquette Three losses, all of them close to very good teams, and a blowout over Baylor.
16 Illinois
17 Maryland
18 Virginia Tech I don't think Charleston away is a bad loss. They've done nothing but win outside of that.
19 Texas This team is not the same without Coach Beard, even from just a coaching perspective rather than the "distraction"
20West Virginia
21 Xavier
22 Indiana
23 New Mexico
24 Charleston Only loss is to UNC, wins over VT and a very good Kent St. team that has yet to lose to a bad team all year. Don't sleep.
25 Utah State Santa Clara and USF are fine, but not super high quality wins.

Overall Rationale

My metrics hate Arizona and Tennessee but love Alabama. I reorganized them significantly in this top 25.
