Travbowman's Week 8 Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Tennessee	They haven't done anything wrong, but we're almost to the point where Auburn leaps them just by being better
2	Auburn	Feels like an historically good team right now
3	Iowa State	No change
4	Duke	Should not get more than 3 ACC losses
5	Alabama	UND game was tougher than it should have been, but kudos to them for scheduling it

11	Houston	They can't wait for Big 12 play
12	Oklahoma	Somehow still undefeated
13	Texas A&M	No comment
14	UConn	I feel bad for whatever 1 seed ends up with the Huskies in their region
15	Gonzaga	Need to figure out their outside shooting
16	Mississippi State	SEC has 8 teams in my top 16 and it doesn't even feel forced
