pacman-2022's Week 12 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | Still Clear #1s |
| 2 | Duke | I guess they're #2, they avoided a loss unlike everyone else it seems |
| 3 | Iowa State | Tough loss, but its away in the big 12. I would expect it to hurt more but every team I had close to them also lost. Additionally a great win over Kansas |
| 4 | Alabama | Their loss was the best I guess? I don't like having them at 4 but I think they have the best argument of everyone I was considering |
| 5 | Houston | Best 3 loss team and the 3rd loss was a very long time ago |
| 6 | Florida | The loss it definetly concerning, but its still a squad I think is very good |
| 7 | Michigan State | Very good win over Illinois, no recent losses |
| 8 | Tennessee | Although it was a close loss, Vandy is not a team you should ever lose to as a contender, and they have lost a different game recently as well. |
| 9 | Kansas | Expected loss vs Iowa State, but it wasn't very close |
| 10 | Marquette | Bad loss to Xavier unfortunately, still a good team |
| 11 | Purdue | Great win streak including at Oregon. I think they may be a little high but they seem very strong at the moment |
| 12 | Ole Miss | Rose a ton this week, but a win over Bama and a OT loss away is a very good week. |
| 13 | Kentucky | Expected Bama loss |
| 14 | Illinois | Tough loss to Michigan State, but they are looking really good. |
| 15 | Oregon | Unfortunate loss to Purdue, but I still think they are good. They usually come out on top in close games, which is a good trait to have |
| 16 | Mississippi State | Beat Ole miss in OT, but trounced by Auburn |
| 17 | Texas A&M | Not sure who else to put here |
| 18 | St. John's | Just keep winning, weaker Big East this year should make that possible. |
| 19 | Wisconsin | Since the losing streak they seem to have gotten back on track |
| 20 | Missouri | Good wins, only a few losses. Beating Florida away put them on my map. |
| 21 | UConn | I really don't like rating any of the 21-25 teams at al. I feel like there aren't 25 top 25 teams, which is very odd to say |
| 22 | Texas Tech | Kenpom seems to like them, they have some glaring losses but there's not a better option that I can see. |
| 23 | Georgia | I mean they were expected to lose, so I can't drop them completely |
| 24 | Maryland | Idk at this point |
| 25 | Arizona | Aside from Tech they've been on a winning streak lately |
Overall Rationale
Dropped Baylor because they suck Rankings done 11CST 1-19
