TommyTwoTaps's Week 10 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kansas | LW: 2 (+1) ... Jayhawks get my top stop. Most Q1 wins in the country (6), tops in SoS and SoR |
| 2 | Houston | LW: 3 (+1) ... Cougars have looked impressive against lesser foes, hence the high advanced rankings. SoS (126) hurts them a bit for me. |
| 3 | Purdue | LW: 1 (-2) ... still an impressive 5-1 Q1 record. Impressed with the bounce back win late over a ranked opp on the road. |
| 4 | Tennessee | LW: 7 (+3) ... Jumping them over the Bruins due to the margin of victory in the two wins this week. Impressed me a lot |
| 5 | UCLA | LW: 6 (+1) |
| 6 | Texas | LW: 8 (+2) |
| 7 | Gonzaga | LW: 9 (+2) |
| 8 | Alabama | LW: 10 (+2) |
| 9 | Xavier | LW: 12 (+3) |
| 10 | UConn | LW: 5 (-5) |
| 11 | Arizona | LW: 4 (-7) |
| 12 | Kansas State | LW: 21 (+9) ... Three straight ranked wins, the last two on the road. While the defense worries me, this team has earned the right to be ranked this high. |
| 13 | Iowa State | LW: 19 (+6) |
| 14 | Arkansas | LW: 15 (+1) ... 1-1 vs ranked opponents moves them up a spot thanks to other losing to unranked teams |
| 15 | Virginia | LW: 11 (-4) |
| 16 | TCU | LW: 25 (+9) ... I under ranked them very badly last week, so this bump is due to my own mistakes last week. Was very impressed with them this week, even though they dropped a game |
| 17 | Miami (FL) | LW: 14 (-3) ... not a good loss to GA Tech, but I'm not going to overreact to it too much given a lot of ranked teams slipped up this week |
| 18 | Auburn | LW: 16 (-2) ... yes they beat Arkansas, but they also lost to UGA so they won't jump the Hogs. |
| 19 | Duke | LW: 13 (-6) ... dropping a bit due to getting blown out and barely escaping BC |
| 20 | Saint Mary's | LW: 24 (+4) ... this move up is the product of other teams losing and so many falling out. Still not fully sure how good they are as the SoS is severely lacking |
| 21 | Charleston | LW: NR ... no longer a coward confirmed |
| 22 | Wisconsin | LW: 18 (-4) ... two very competitive games this week, will be interested to see both |
| 23 | Providence | LW: NR ... I can could understand arguments for them being higher, but for now they debut in my poll here |
| 24 | NC State | LW: NR ... I know they beat Duke, but they're also 3-3 in conference play in a league that I'm not sure how deep it really is yet. |
| 25 | Florida Atlantic | LW: NR ... giving them the nod over Marquette due to the Q1 record. Brilliant start from FAI |
