RagingLasagna's Week 14 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Houston | At least they beat Temple |
| 2 | Purdue | I can't let you lose and stay #1, but I also can't knock you very much for losing by 5 @ IU. Truly more like a 1a and 1b than 1 and 2 |
| 3 | Alabama | Brandon Miller should be the #1 overall pick |
| 4 | Arizona | Tubelis is First Team All American level good |
| 5 | UCLA | Other than your crush dating someone else, no stronger jealously than Tyger Campbell's hair |
| 6 | Tennessee | They look not dangerous at all and I very much don't trust them |
| 7 | Texas | They look really dangerous but I still don't trust them |
| 8 | Kansas | It's hard to win in Hilton, but you gotta score more than 53 points |
| 9 | Virginia | Bennett Ball will always prevail |
| 10 | Saint Mary's | Call me The Monkees because I'm a Believer |
| 11 | Iowa State | Caleb Grill's hair is kinda sick. ISU fans I know you whooped Kansas, but you also lost to Texas Tech |
| 12 | Baylor | My pick to win the Big 12. I say as I rank 3 B12 teams above them |
| 13 | Marquette | I can't believe this is the highest ranked Big East team, all because they opened with a win over my Chippewas |
| 14 | Kansas State | I have to drop you more than a few if you go 0-2 |
| 15 | Xavier | If only the Kelce's would've played football at Xavier |
| 16 | Gonzaga | They just feel like a 4 seed that'll go to the Elite 8 |
| 17 | TCU | Continues to be one of the weirdest teams to evaluate |
| 18 | Providence | Any game that goes into OT is essentially a draw and you just get 1 point instead of 3 |
| 19 | Indiana | What an environment in Assembly Hall, game of the year candidate. Just really wish they hadn't gotten wiped by Maryland |
| 20 | UConn | Maybe a little too close against the Hoyas, but that's still a conference road win |
| 21 | Miami (FL) | They're gonna mess around and win the ACC |
| 22 | San Diego State | Weird loss, but I still feel very confident in this team to keep them in this 21-25 range |
| 23 | Creighton | This could be the scariest 6 seed known to man |
| 24 | Florida Atlantic | Getting the Charleston treatment. You have one more week to show me why you still belong here |
| 25 | Oral Roberts | The pronunciation of Max Abmas still blows my mind |
Overall Rationale
