Travbowman's Week 14 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | They were far enough ahead of the field that a close road loss doesn't drop them |
| 2 | Arizona | Very good resume |
| 3 | Alabama | Small gap between the top 3 |
| 4 | Houston | Got revenge against Temple |
| 5 | UCLA | Rematch vs Arizona looks huge |
| 6 | Texas | I was too low on them. Corrected now |
| 7 | Xavier | Freemantle injury leaves big hole |
| 8 | Kansas | This stretch has been a brutal schedule |
| 9 | Tennessee | Loss plus controversial win is not the best week |
| 10 | Marquette | Quietest top ten team this season? |
| 11 | Saint Mary's | Impressive comeback vs Zags |
| 12 | Gonzaga | Really need to win out to get a protected seed |
| 13 | Kansas State | Rough week but losses to top ten teams aren't terrible |
| 14 | Virginia | ACC down bad |
| 15 | Iowa State | Good win on Saturday |
| 16 | Florida Atlantic | Won't drop them much for losing at a UAB team with Walker. |
| 17 | UConn | Beating who they should |
| 18 | Baylor | Up and down again |
| 19 | NC State | Second best team in ACC? |
| 20 | TCU | Gotta figure out offense |
| 21 | San Diego State | Small drop |
| 22 | Indiana | Loss to UMD drops them, but win vs number one brings them back |
| 23 | Creighton | Back in the rankings after December collapse |
| 24 | Rutgers | Big road tests coming up this week |
| 25 | Duke | Somebody has to be 25th? |
Overall Rationale
This time 15 of my 25 lost. Will the chaos ever slow down?
