Soterios's Week 8 Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Purdue	Choochooo train is back on the menu!
2	Kansas	Kevin. My man! 34 points?
3	Houston	Still have a zero in the loss column. Still trashing their opponents. We'll see what conference play looks like soon.
4	UConn	Still look like a final four contender.
5	Marquette	Flipping them with Uconn.
6	Illinois	They're playing some GREAT ball right now. Maybe this jump is too dramatic, but I'm paying less attention to previous weeks now.
7	Florida Atlantic	I'm eating my hat here. FAU is legit.
8	Arizona	Still look like a top ten team. Lost to some great teams.
9	Memphis	Hell of a run the last four games.
10	Tennessee	Playing a lot better since their three game skid.
11	Kentucky	They beat UNC so they have to be here right?
12	North Carolina	Some tough losses to very good teams.
13	Oklahoma	The only game in the loss column is to a great UNC team.
14	Gonzaga	Are the bulldogs a top 15 team? I think so? Probably?
15	Colorado State	I think this rank starts to fade as we approach conference play, but for now they're a top 15 team.
16	BYU	Back to winning out after a hiccup at Utah. Handling opponents comfortably.
17	Ole Miss	Undefeated in a decent schedule. In and down.
18	Clemson	Falling a bit from the loss @Memphis
19	Duke	Ok. They beat Baylor. Do I still have to apologize for ranking them?
20	Baylor	Baylor BB R U OK?
21	James Madison	I still don't know what to do with you, but you got leap frogged a bit.
22	Wisconsin	They are still a team playing basketball.
23	Providence	Down goes Marquette and up go the Friars.
24	Virginia	@Memphis isn't so bad.
25	San Diego State	You can stay.

Overall Rationale

Trying to decrease 'poll inertia' here, so there might start being more 'jumps'. Not apologizing for Duke this week I guess. I'm not punishing UConn and Marquette enough, but damn they still look good.
