_Nava_CBB's Week 2 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Duke | Duke stays at #1 basically due to inertia. Their first big test comes on Tuesday. |
| 2 | Florida | There's an argument for moving Florida up, but I expected them to beat Miami and they didn't do it in ultra-dominant fashion. |
| 3 | UConn | |
| 4 | Illinois | |
| 5 | Michigan State | |
| 6 | Tennessee | |
| 7 | St. John's | |
| 8 | Virginia | Virginia melting Arkansas has given me some new appreciation for them. I may have been a little lower on them than they deserved. |
| 9 | Houston | I forgot to rank them last time. |
| 10 | Texas | |
| 11 | Texas Tech | |
| 12 | UCLA | I didn't expect them to actually beat Arizona. Landing one of the most impressive wins in the country has them taking a huge jump. |
| 13 | Gonzaga | |
| 14 | Arizona | UCLA is good, but you can't lose this early and expect to be a top 10 team anymore. |
| 15 | USC | I was tempted to bump them down out of spite for making me stay up. |
| 16 | Miami (FL) | Losing to Florida doesn't hurt too much. |
| 17 | Arkansas | I expected them to lose to Virginia, but I didn't expect them to have already lost by halftime. |
| 18 | Vanderbilt | |
| 19 | Texas A&M | I promise I'm not crazy. |
| 20 | Kansas | |
| 21 | Louisville | |
| 22 | Alabama | |
| 23 | Nebraska | I think this Providence win will look better later in the season. |
| 24 | Memphis | Memphis gets a nod with wins over good Iowa State and VCU teams. |
| 25 | Michigan | Michigan losing to UConn is understandable but doesn't inspire a ton of confidence. |
Overall Rationale
Dropped Out: Kentucky (victim of other teams' successes and me forgetting to rank Houston), Missouri (lost to SLU) Also Considered: Kentucky, BYU, SLU, Indiana
