1Subject's Week 12 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arizona | +2 |
| 2 | UConn | +4 Looked listless against Georgetown, but a W regardless |
| 3 | Nebraska | +1 |
| 4 | Duke | +8 Not allergic to Pacific Atlantic Coast Teams |
| 5 | Purdue | +2 |
| 6 | Michigan | -5 Midseason rough patch because they're not winning by 30+ every game? They'll undoubtedly figure it out |
| 7 | Gonzaga | -2 Schedule strength is weakening |
| 8 | Michigan State | +3 |
| 9 | BYU | 0 |
| 10 | Houston | +11 Results against their strengthening slate of opponents being reflected, TTU up next again |
| 11 | Vanderbilt | -9 First two losses of the year, back to back. Will they right the ship? |
| 12 | Texas Tech | +5 |
| 13 | Virginia | NEW Just keeps winning |
| 14 | Illinois | +6 |
| 15 | Iowa State | -7 Back to back bad losses |
| 16 | Saint Mary's | -6 Losses looking worse, still just 3 though (although they did just pick another up with Santa Clara, who's by no means terrible, but still). |
| 17 | Alabama | -1 |
| 18 | UCF | -3 |
| 19 | Clemson | NEW Off to 6-0 to start in the ACC |
| 20 | Saint Louis | NEW Keeps on rolling with a mischievous smile |
| 21 | Kansas | +3 |
| 22 | Utah State | 0 Lost against a National Park, no small feat |
| 23 | Miami (OH) | NEW Undefeated with providence on their side against Buffalo |
| 24 | SMU | -10 (1-3) over the past two weeks, tough stretch, but can't be losing and also have the quality of that UNC win turn sour with their recent results |
| 25 | North Carolina | -12 Allergic to Pacific Atlantic Coast Teams |
Overall Rationale
Attempt at a strictly resume-based ranking of all relative quality of wins and losses. D1 only and H2H is not explicitly factored in. Differences are compared to 2 weeks ago because of no submission for prior week, that's why some of the jumps may not seem right.
