RagingLasagna's Week 13 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | Probably should be unanimous |
| 2 | Tennessee | That Colorado loss continues to be so puzzling |
| 3 | Houston | Slow and steady wins the race |
| 4 | Alabama | That loss means they cannot claim Jalen Hurts for the Super Bowl |
| 5 | Arizona | Tubelis could Pokemon evolve into Sabonis |
| 6 | Virginia | Spoiler: the team ahead of them in the ACC is not ranked |
| 7 | Kansas | Something so forgiving about this team |
| 8 | UCLA | After the recent conspiracy with the Grizzlies scorekeeper, I think Jaime Jaquez Jr. deserves to be the real Triple J |
| 9 | Iowa State | I do not trust this team come March, but good news for them is that it is still January |
| 10 | Kansas State | I also don't know if I trust them solely based on some of the jerseys they are wearing |
| 11 | Texas | They just play gross basketball, I do not understand how they are good and win games |
| 12 | Baylor | That midseason slip up was really weird, but Scott Drew looks to have the boys cooking - wish Mayer would've stayed |
| 13 | Marquette | If they keep winning, it's a high quality loss for Central Michigan |
| 14 | TCU | This team is so weird to judge. It's like if Auburn was good |
| 15 | Gonzaga | Needed Timme to have o32.5 pts, rebs, assts against Portland and he went for 8-5-5 |
| 16 | Xavier | Souley Boum is the real deal, but they still feel like a fringe Sweet 16 team |
| 17 | Florida Atlantic | Longest win streak in the country (s/o to the announcer for all the Seinfeld references) |
| 18 | San Diego State | Is the Mountain West the 3rd best conference behind the Big 12 and Big East? |
| 19 | Saint Mary's | Randy Bennett - a lot of wins, not a lot of hair |
| 20 | Providence | KenPom has them 169 (nice) in luck this year |
| 21 | New Mexico | There's something about this team man, they're really good and really fun to watch |
| 22 | UConn | Great effort against Xavier but still an L. One more and you're probably gone |
| 23 | North Carolina | It would be almost un American to have both Carolina and Duke unranked |
| 24 | Northwestern | I can't tell if Boo Buie is a cool name or not but this could become America's team |
| 25 | Charleston | Cougars, I'm giving you one last chance, don't blow it |
Overall Rationale
26-30: Indiana, Illinois, Creighton, Clemson, Memphis | Unbeaten teams in conference play to monitor and maybe throw a vote to in the coming weeks: Eastern Washington, Oral Roberts, Colgate
