MainPeanut25's Week 14 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | |
| 2 | Duke | |
| 3 | Alabama | +2, more consistency |
| 4 | Florida | Everyone lost, can’t move anyone |
| 5 | Tennessee | +1, some even *gained* after losing |
| 6 | Iowa State | -3 |
| 7 | Michigan State | Awful loss |
| 8 | Houston | +1 |
| 9 | Marquette | -1, UConn still has a little in them |
| 10 | Purdue | +3 |
| 11 | Texas Tech | +14, they’ve been consistent and now they have the big win |
| 12 | Kansas | -2, Holtmann-esque collapse |
| 13 | Texas A&M | +2 |
| 14 | Kentucky | -3, losing to Cal in 2025 in an obvious revenge game is embarrassing |
| 15 | Arizona | NR, recovered from their brutal start |
| 16 | St. John's | +5, sneaking up |
| 17 | Louisville | -1 |
| 18 | Missouri | +5, owns the state of Mississippi |
| 19 | Wisconsin | -5 |
| 20 | Michigan | -2 |
| 21 | UConn | -2 |
| 22 | Ole Miss | -5, got Auburn’d |
| 23 | Illinois | +1, Ohio State/John Mobley made them look better than they are at the end |
| 24 | Saint Mary's | NR, got the annual Gonzaga win at home and watch them get ranked inside the top 10 |
| 25 | Mississippi State | -13, bad week but Josh Hubbard is a stud |
