Dolphinz811's Week 14 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arizona | (-) The best. |
| 2 | Michigan | (+2) Thinking Wisconsin was a fluke. |
| 3 | UConn | (-) I'm not as confident in them but they keep winning. |
| 4 | Duke | (+1) Same with them like I said for Connecticut. |
| 5 | Gonzaga | (+1) Definitive top 5. I echo what I said for Connecticut & Duke for them. |
| 6 | Illinois | (+4) Honestly looks like the 3rd best team to me, but those 3 losses hold them back. |
| 7 | Nebraska | (-5) They got their first 2 losses of the season, but to my #2 and #6 teams and both were kinda close matchups so I still think they're a legit top 10 team. |
| 8 | Houston | (-) Solid bounce back week. |
| 9 | Iowa State | (-) Enough time has passed from their weird stint a couple weeks ago for me to feel confident in them. |
| 10 | Michigan State | (-3) Definitive top 10. There's a gap between them and the rest in my opinion. That said, Michigan St is a clear #10. |
| 11 | North Carolina | (+3) #11 feels too high for them but it feels too high for everyone below them too... |
| 12 | Vanderbilt | (+4) Good bounce back week to dust off that 3 loss stint completely. I feel better about them again. |
| 13 | Kansas | (+6) I think I had them too low in previous weeks. They're really starting to click! |
| 14 | Texas Tech | (-2) Tough loss but I'm higher on UCF than everyone else so its not too bad of a loss in my eyes. |
| 15 | UCF | (+5) UCF IS LEGIT! |
| 16 | BYU | (-3) They're so close to being good. All their losses are good, close losses against teams above them. They don't have that big win yet though. |
| 17 | Saint Louis | (-) They keep winning and by big margins! |
| 18 | Purdue | (-7) They look awful but that dominant showing against Maryland on Sunday makes me hope that this team may FINALLY be back. It is just Maryland though so who knows. |
| 19 | Virginia | (-1) I just am not impressed with them despite the record. They struggled to get wins over mediocre ACC teams this week. Eh. |
| 20 | Arkansas | (-5) That loss to Kentucky was not great especially when you see how badly they lost. |
| 21 | Florida | (NEW) I think people are too high on Florida since they just started to notch some quality wins. The Tennessee win made me look at them. Vandy win made me notice them. Bama win gets them ranked. |
| 22 | Tennessee | (-1) The close Georgia win was clutch and the Auburn win wasn't too shabby. They purely drop cause I realized, head-to-head, they should probably be below Florida. |
| 23 | Miami (OH) | (-) They keep winning so I feel horrible for keeping a 22-0 team so low but its to some really bad opponents compared to the rest of the top 25 and they're not crushing everyone. |
| 24 | St. John's | (NEW) They've slowly but surely steadily crept up my rankings back to the top 25. |
| 25 | Villanova | (NEW) I still think that overtime loss to Connecticut last week was the most impressive thing this team has done and they look solid to me honestly. |
