Pale-Pay8772's Week 4 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | (=) The Texas Tech win speaks for itself. As of now, it's Purdue vs The Field (which the field will probably win but still) |
| 2 | Arizona | (+2) Most tested team? Yes, undeniably. But the best team in the nation? I just don't see it quite yet unless Purdue loses |
| 3 | Houston | (-1) Just can't stop winning. |
| 4 | Duke | (+1 Literally wiped Howard and Niagara from the face of the earth |
| 5 | UConn | (-2) Very good chance you win that Zona game with Reed. |
| 6 | Alabama | (+4) They get in the Top 5 with a win against Gonzaga. I was always high on this team but they look LEGIT. |
| 7 | Louisville | (=) Kinda wanted to give you bonus points for killing Cincinnati invincibles hopes. |
| 8 | Gonzaga | (=) Ditto as Bama except I'm just overall lower on you |
| 9 | Michigan State | (+4) You see SEC faker merchants, I see a legit roster. That Kohler guy pretty good, ain't he? |
| 10 | Illinois | (-4) Entering a super pivotal stretch after the Bama loss |
| 11 | Florida | (=) I don't know, it's just hard to rule you guys out. You could very much end up being fakers but I have belief |
| 12 | Michigan | (-3) Please don't end up revealing yourselves as frauds in the Players Era Festival or this will look really bad |
| 13 | Iowa State | (-1) You did nothing wrong and still moved down, welcome to college hoops! |
| 14 | BYU | (+3) Took you long enough to actually prove yourself |
| 15 | Tennessee | (-1) PLAY A GOOD TEAM ALREADY GODDAMN |
| 16 | St. John's | (=) Also now entering your "contender or pretender" phase |
| 17 | North Carolina | (+2) Slowly warming up to this UNC team |
| 18 | Vanderbilt | (+3) You're literally gonna die from point overdose. Too many 100+ point games to count, but can the defense keep up? |
| 19 | UCLA | (-1) You're also reaching the "prove it" stage of your schedule |
| 20 | Indiana | (+2) Anything is possible with Tucker DeVries |
| 21 | Saint Mary's | (+2) Ladies and gentlemen I am going through character development - I actually like a mid-major that isn't Gonzaga. Take of that what you will. |
| 22 | Kentucky | (-7) I wanted to leave them off the ballot so badly you just don't get it |
| 23 | Baylor | (+1) Play more games pretty please |
| 24 | Iowa | (NEW) I was able to talk myself into Iowa... but not Nebraska |
| 25 | NC State | (NEW) Don't even like them that much but they're the best of the rest at this point (last team out was Ohio State) :/ |
Overall Rationale
Finally got the time to go in detail, so I did so
