Travbowman's Week 14 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | UConn | Please win out and take the 1 overall seed going into the tournament |
| 2 | Purdue | Gritted out a couple of wins last week |
| 3 | Kansas | Still don't know what to think of a team that can beat UK, UConn, Tennessee, and Houston, but can lose to WVU and UCF |
| 4 | Houston | Still a really good team tied at the top of the best conference |
| 5 | North Carolina | Can't drop them too far for a close road loss |
| 6 | Tennessee | Nice rebound win after head scratching loss |
| 7 | Arizona | Sleep-walking through final Pac 12 season? |
| 8 | Marquette | Two matches with UConn coming up to prove they belong with top of the country |
| 9 | Wisconsin | Neither loss was bad, but it was still two losses in four days |
| 10 | Dayton | darkhorse F4 type team |
| 11 | Auburn | Top of SEC is really fun |
| 12 | Creighton | Really should not have lost that game on Friday |
| 13 | Illinois | Gutted out a win on Sunday vs Nebraska in OT |
| 14 | Alabama | Finally getting the wins to match the metrics |
| 15 | Utah State | Who will win the MWC regular season title? |
| 16 | Iowa State | Saturday night's match in Waco was one of the strangest ever |
| 17 | Baylor | Scott Drew was ejected for this ranking |
| 18 | San Diego State | Lurking |
| 19 | Florida Atlantic | Best in AAC in year one |
| 20 | Duke | Talent is still there...big wins still to come? |
| 21 | Colorado State | Got a road win this week |
| 22 | South Carolina | Probably should not have left them off last week |
| 23 | BYU | Surviving year one in the Big 12, impressive |
