MAFIAxMaverick's Week 7 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | Beat number 1. Is now number 1. |
| 2 | Houston | I am probably punishing them a little bit because of their schedule. |
| 3 | Arizona | Still a top team. |
| 4 | Kansas | Have dominated since their loss to Marquette. |
| 5 | UConn | Comfortable the whole way against Gonzaga. |
| 6 | Marquette | Pushed to the limit by St. Thomas. Move up because of Baylor's loss. |
| 7 | Kentucky | Have been good all season. |
| 8 | Oklahoma | The Sooners are still rolling. |
| 9 | Creighton | As long as Kalkbrenner stays healthy, Creighton is a team with title aspirations. |
| 10 | Baylor | Michigan State finally showed up at Baylor's expense. Still a fantastic team that's going to push the top of the rankings all year. |
| 11 | Florida Atlantic | Big game against Arizona this week. |
| 12 | James Madison | Dukes undefeated. Dukes stay in the poll. |
| 13 | Ole Miss | Still undefeated. |
| 14 | Clemson | Tough loss at Memphis. |
| 15 | North Carolina | Rough week for UNC against quality opponents. Another ranked matchup against Oklahoma. |
| 16 | Tennessee | Have bounced back from their 3 game skid and are playing well. |
| 17 | Memphis | Big wins this week and big matchups against UVA and Vandy to close out non-con |
| 18 | Colorado State | |
| 19 | Wisconsin | |
| 20 | Virginia | |
