Stepkeyt's Week 13 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | (1) Just keep winning |
| 2 | Duke | (2) Dominating the ACC |
| 3 | Iowa State | (3) Elite team |
| 4 | Alabama | (4) What a resume |
| 5 | Houston | (5) Finally got their marquee win of the season |
| 6 | Florida | (6) Solid squad |
| 7 | Tennessee | (9) Solid week for them despite a loss |
| 8 | Michigan State | (10) This team being a 28% 3pt and still winning is impressive! |
| 9 | Kansas | (8) How did you lose!!! 6 points in 10 seconds!!!! |
| 10 | Marquette | (13) Seton Hall is a good rebound game |
| 11 | Kentucky | (7) Vandy is a house of horrors |
| 12 | Purdue | (16) Despite a loss at home of all places what a rebound game against Michigan of all teams |
| 13 | Texas A&M | (11) 22 point lead blown!!! Other than that not a bad week |
| 14 | Mississippi State | (12) Idk where to put this team tbh |
| 15 | St. John's | (17) Fuck Brian O'Connell. In all seriousness this team is good despite non existent 3pt shooting |
| 16 | Missouri | (15) Decent week especially with Texas looking better |
| 17 | Illinois | (14) I trust the metrics of this team but man this team is confusing sometimes. |
| 18 | Texas Tech | (21) Starting to pile up wins |
| 19 | Saint Mary's | (24) The team to beat in the WCC once again |
| 20 | Wisconsin | (18) |
| 21 | Oregon | (19) Metrics are not top 25 l level, but 8 q1 wins this team is confusing. |
| 22 | Memphis | (23) This team wins |
| 23 | Ole Miss | (22) Two losses but also against good teams |
| 24 | Louisville | (NR) Woah another ACC team |
| 25 | Utah State | (NR) Really solid team out of the MWC |
Overall Rationale
Dropped Out: #20 UConn, #25 Michigan. UConn is on a downards spiral without McNeely but this team has not looked like a top 25 recently in their play does McNeely change that we shall see. Michigan has the metrics but the results I question.
