Hackasizlak's Week 3 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Houston | Wasn't a pretty win at all but not dropping from #1 for beating a ranked Auburn in their backyard |
| 2 | Duke | |
| 3 | UConn | |
| 4 | Purdue | |
| 5 | Arizona | |
| 6 | Gonzaga | Feels high but I don't see anybody else with three P5 wins four games into the season |
| 7 | Michigan | |
| 8 | Florida | |
| 9 | Louisville | |
| 10 | BYU | |
| 11 | Illinois | |
| 12 | Iowa State | |
| 13 | Alabama | |
| 14 | Kentucky | |
| 15 | St. John's | |
| 16 | North Carolina | |
| 17 | Texas Tech | |
| 18 | Tennessee | |
| 19 | Michigan State | |
| 20 | Wisconsin | |
| 21 | Vanderbilt | |
| 22 | Georgetown | Metrics hate Georgetown but I can't ignore wins over Maryland and Clemson |
| 23 | Arkansas | |
| 24 | Utah State | |
| 25 | Santa Clara | No stand out wins but three decent ones over Nevada, McNeese, and Xavier. Mid major of the week spot goes to 4-0 Santa Clara! |
