Maison-Marthgiela's Week 2 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Florida | |
| 2 | Duke | |
| 3 | Illinois | Very close between 3-4. All the injuries make me want to drop them but until they actually lose I can't justify it. |
| 4 | UConn | Tough deciding between UConn and Illinois. They have a far better resume at this point but I don't like to drop teams that haven't lost/looked bad. |
| 5 | Michigan State | |
| 6 | Houston | |
| 7 | Kansas | |
| 8 | Virginia | |
| 9 | UCLA | Arguably the best win of the season so far. |
| 10 | Arizona | UCLA isn't a bad loss but Arizon's top 10 status is under threat until they get a rebound win. |
| 11 | Vanderbilt | No movement, they've looked good but Wake isn't an impressive win anymore. |
| 12 | Louisville | |
| 13 | Texas | |
| 14 | Texas Tech | |
| 15 | Alabama | |
| 16 | Michigan | |
| 17 | St. John's | |
| 18 | Memphis | Two impressive wins this early puts them in my top 20. |
| 19 | Tennessee | |
| 20 | Gonzaga | |
| 21 | Nebraska | |
| 22 | Kentucky | |
| 23 | Saint Louis | |
| 24 | Iowa State | As of now I'm operating on the belief that Memphis is just good and Iowa state lost to a solid team. Their ranking is hanging by a thread. |
| 25 | BYU |
Overall Rationale
USC is my first team out. I might have put them in 25th but by the time I'll have submitted this their game against Wichita State won't have ended yet so I can't really judge them off that game, and BYU already beat Ohio State.
