Zloggt's Week 14 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | UConn | The B1G is arguably the better all-around conference...but I guess I got to give the reigning champs their dues... |
| 2 | Purdue | Besides...Purdue DID need OT to beat Northwestern this time around... |
| 3 | Marquette | |
| 4 | Kansas | |
| 5 | North Carolina | |
| 6 | Tennessee | |
| 7 | Houston | Perhaps a few chaotic upsets (and OT against Texas) away from potentially dropping out of the Top Ten...but hey, they are still here! And who else could jump them anyway,,, |
| 8 | Arizona | |
| 9 | Illinois | They don't PLAY like a Top Ten team...but alas, if you win when everybody else drops a game this week... |
| 10 | Duke | I think Wisconsin would still beat the Blue Devils... |
| 11 | Wisconsin | ...but then again, this week could've gone better for the Badgers too... |
| 12 | Auburn | |
| 13 | Iowa State | |
| 14 | Dayton | Poll inertia is MUCH beneficial for the Flyers (on top of the whole 2 for 2 thing) |
| 15 | Creighton | |
| 16 | Baylor | |
| 17 | Alabama | Why are they so high? Should they be THIS high? I kinda lean yes...but then again, this IS the current #1 in the SEC... |
| 18 | South Carolina | Gamecocks ain't too far behind though... |
| 19 | Kentucky | |
| 20 | Texas Tech | |
| 21 | BYU | |
| 22 | Florida Atlantic | Mountain West in-fighting makes for happy Owls... |
| 23 | San Diego State | What a messy as hell conference... |
| 24 | Utah State | ...which leaves me hard-press... |
| 25 | Boise State | ...to resort to NET/KenPom for tiebreaking |
Overall Rationale
5 teams = 1 tiers, for a total of 5 tiers overall. Each team is further organized within their own tiers, with things like H2H, SOS, and recent performance determining overall position
