Nacos2001's Week 9 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | +1 |
| 2 | Arizona | +2 Jump Houston since Houston struggled with UCF |
| 3 | Houston | +0 |
| 4 | UConn | -3 Only dropping them three, they lost against a good Xavier team away and Kansas struggled against a worse team at home |
| 5 | Kansas | +0 |
| 6 | Alabama | +1 I know Gonzaga beat Alabama and maybe it is bias but Alabama just beat a ranked team at their place by double digits so I have them jumping Zaga |
| 7 | Gonzaga | +0 |
| 8 | Virginia | +1 |
| 9 | Texas | +1 |
| 10 | Tennessee | +3 |
| 11 | Arkansas | -5 Lost a few big pieces then losing to LSU hurts even if in Baton Rouge |
| 12 | UCLA | +0 |
| 13 | Miami (FL) | +1 |
| 14 | Xavier | NR Massive win over undefeated UCONN |
| 15 | Wisconsin | +0 |
| 16 | TCU | +0 |
| 17 | Duke | +0 |
| 18 | Indiana | +1 |
| 19 | Baylor | -8 Bad 15 point loss to Iowa State but on the road so they could be dropped further but this is where I have them |
| 20 | New Mexico | +3 |
| 21 | Missouri | NR |
| 22 | LSU | NR |
| 23 | Marquette | NR |
| 24 | Charleston | NR |
| 25 | Kansas State | NR |
