SnooBooks8063's Week 11 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 Purdue Tough loss on the road at hot shooting Nebraska, still think they are best team
2 North Carolina Have looked awesome in conference play and have gotten stronger while other top teams have stumbled
3UConn Haven't dominated recently but have taken care of business against lesser competition without Clingan
4 Houston Welcome to the Big 12! Two close losses on the road to good teams is not too much cause for concern. Houston will bounce back and challenge for the Big 12 title in a loaded conference
5 Auburn They've been rolling lately, would have real shot at number 1 had it not been for app state loss early this season.
6Kansas They had been pulling off getting close wins until UCF. Not a great loss but playing on the road has presented a lot of teams with problems. Bounced back with big win over OU.
7 Arizona Loss to Wash St is not great but overall resume strength and peak potential keep them in the top 10
8 Kentucky Won't penalize them too much for OT loss at Texas A&M. Have great track record and should only get better with so many talented freshmen gaining experience
9Duke Barely escaped GT (who is really talented but very young). Need Proctor to continue stepping up like that. Filipowski is a dude, runner up for POY in my book
10Memphis Had a scare against UTSA but showed toughness in pulling it out. So much depth and talent for the Tigers. Kept winning while others haven't and have a strong resume
11 Baylor Great start to conference play with wins over BYU and Cinci.
12 Illinois Even without Shannon, tough loss at home to my terps drops them outside top 10

14 Tennessee
