riddledwithdoubt's Week 2 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alabama | Excited to see how they fare against their first real competition Friday |
| 2 | Gonzaga | Could easily be #1, allowing my preseason bias to hold them at 2….for now |
| 3 | UConn | Keep giving him Bulletin board material |
| 4 | Kansas | If it wasn’t at Allen do they win? |
| 5 | Auburn | Don’t know what to make of the team chemistry off the court, but on the court performance is there |
| 6 | Duke | |
| 7 | Iowa State | |
| 8 | Arizona | |
| 9 | North Carolina | About as good a loss as you can have |
| 10 | Houston | If Auburn’s really that good this shouldn’t look terrible on the resume |
| 11 | Tennessee | |
| 12 | Baylor | Great rebound win. Their loss was essentially a Gonzaga home game. They still lost by 40. |
| 13 | Creighton | |
| 14 | Marquette | |
| 15 | Cincinnati | |
| 16 | Florida | |
| 17 | Kentucky | |
| 18 | Arkansas | |
| 19 | Purdue | |
| 20 | Wake Forest | First in person game of the season. Another slow start but impressed with how wake clawed back and closed. Is this what grit looks like? |
| 21 | Indiana | |
| 22 | Texas Tech | |
| 23 | UCF | |
| 24 | Pitt | |
| 25 | North Florida | Two wins on the road against decent Power competition gets you at least one vote |
Overall Rationale
Hoping to have more time this week to do a deeper dive into the resumes of the top 25. Already lots of big change with more to come
