Nacos2001's Week 8 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | +0 |
| 2 | Tennessee | +0 |
| 3 | Iowa State | +0 |
| 4 | Duke | +0 |
| 5 | Alabama | +0 |
| 6 | Marquette | +1 |
| 7 | Oregon | +1 |
| 8 | Kansas | +1 |
| 9 | Florida | +1 |
| 10 | Kentucky | -4 Bad loss to an Ohio St. team that got wiped off the floor just a week ago. Felt like they were never really in this game. |
| 11 | Oklahoma | +1 A couple of ranking swaps here (Oklahoma/Gonzaga) and (MSST/Houston) the benefitting teams just impressed me in a relatively slow week, so they get a small boost. |
| 12 | Gonzaga | -1 |
| 13 | Mississippi State | +1 |
| 14 | Houston | -1 |
| 15 | Texas A&M | +0 |
| 16 | Arkansas | +0 |
| 17 | Michigan State | +1 |
| 18 | UConn | +1 |
| 19 | Drake | +1 |
| 20 | Cincinnati | NR Beginning to see the vision with this team, they are starting to play some good teams and picked up a great win @Dayton. |
| 21 | Arizona State | +0 |
| 22 | Baylor | +1 |
| 23 | Purdue | -6 The loss against Auburn isn't a big deal on the surface, but I will always punish teams for losing consecutive games and getting absolutely ran off the court. |
| 24 | Pitt | +1 |
| 25 | San Diego State | NR |
Overall Rationale
Dropped Out: Memphis(22) Dayton(24) Next week I'll do my best to reset my rankings to get any lingering preseason bias and poll inertia out, will rely heavily on SOR along with several predictive metrics.
