Travbowman's Week 8 Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Michigan	Close with Arizona, but giving the Wolverines the nod
2	Arizona	First half wasn't great vs SDSU, but still ended up coasting
3	Iowa State	1C, just a smidge below the top two
4	Purdue	Nice revenge game vs Auburn
5	UConn	Big East doesn't look like it'll provide a lot of tests for the Huskies
6	Duke	Not a great week for the Blue Devils
7	Vanderbilt	Got two road Ws last week. Respect.
8	Gonzaga	Already have 7 kenpom top 100 wins
9	Michigan State	B1G regular season race should be a lot of fun
10	Houston	Strong win to get back into top 10
11	BYU	Not sure how a team this good can be this quiet but here we are
12	Nebraska	16 straight wins is best in the nation
13	Louisville	Had to drop them a bit for the loss
14	North Carolina	I don't know if they're this good but they keep winning so I can't fault them
15	Alabama	The tough non-con should help them long term
16	Illinois	Bragging Rights game is one of the top two games of a very light week
17	Virginia	Solid win vs UMD
18	Kansas	Get well soon, Mr Peterson
19	Tennessee	Nice way to snap the losing streak
20	USC	Six B1G teams in my top 20. Good times.
21	Arkansas	Dropped them a tiny bit after the loss but it's not bad to lose to Houston
22	Texas Tech	They really needed that win vs Duke
23	Georgia	Bulldogs are good two years in a row
24	Iowa	McCollum must be Scottish for "Can win with any program"
25	Miami (OH)	It's worth a 25th slot to me until they lose. Their 5 true road wins are more than Michigan, Arizona, Iowa St, BYU, and Houston have combined

Overall Rationale
