corndogshuffle's Week 2 Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Gonzaga	+/-0. Gonzaga notched a quality win against Michigan State on Friday.
2	Kentucky	+/-0. Almost nobody played a meaningful game this week, so all I'm doing is adjusting teams that lost up or down. Or out.
3	North Carolina	+/-0.
4	Kansas	+/-0.
5	Houston	+/-0.
6	Baylor	+/-0.
7	Indiana	+1. Indiana is the first in a series of teams benefitting from Tennessee's Sunday afternoon loss.
8	Duke	+1.
9	UCLA	+1.
10	TCU	+1.
11	Auburn	+1.
12	Creighton	+1.
13	Texas	+1.
14	Arizona	+1.
15	Arkansas	+1.
16	Virginia	+1.
17	Texas A&M	+1.
18	San Diego State	+3. San Diego State jumps the trio of Tennessee/Villanova/Oregon with their win over BYU.
19	Tennessee	-12. Colorado lost to Grambling but beat Tennessee. I still believe in the Vols but it's hard to not knock them down a long way after one week with hardly any meaningful games.
20	Dayton	+2.
21	Alabama	+2
22	UConn	+2
23	Michigan State	+11. Yeah, they lost. By a single point to the team I have ranked #1. In a week like this, that was enough for me to put Sparty just inside my top 25.
24	Texas Tech	+2. Three teams out of my rankings, three teams in. Texas Tech is the second of my three new teams.
25	Illinois	+2. The final beneficiary of Villanova, Oregon, and Wyoming losing.

Overall Rationale

Unless you lost I just left you alone. Michigan State enters despite a loss - I think they played well enough to deserve some credit in a week where pretty much nobody else scheduled a big game. Texas Tech/Illinois enter the top 25 after Villanova/Oregon/Wyoming fall out. I knocked out three teams and have very different thoughts on all of them. Is Villanova just experiencing growing pains, and would Moore/Whitmore have made the difference? What the heck, Oregon? The game wasn't even as close as the final. And Wyoming actually lost to a 300+ KenPom team... brutal. Next five - Xavier, Michigan, Saint Louis, Virginia Tech, Iowa
