RagingLasagna's Week 15 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alabama | Of all the historic football programs that I thought could become a basketball school, Bama was not at the top of my list (Michigan was) |
| 2 | Houston | It's probably better for everyone if they're ranked #2 |
| 3 | Purdue | I still think the gap between 3-4 is substantial |
| 4 | UCLA | I want to give a special shoutout to Jaime Jaquez Jr. for being one of only 10 players in UCLA history !! to be top 20 all time in points and rebounds |
| 5 | Kansas | They are who we thought they were |
| 6 | Texas | I have no clue if he's eligible, but Rodney Terry has my vote for Coach of the Year |
| 7 | Virginia | I would like to plead the 5th on the end of the Duke game |
| 8 | Arizona | It's not even like they're losing to the top tier Pac-12 schools |
| 9 | Baylor | This is a Final Four level team |
| 10 | Tennessee | I'm gonna go on the record -- I think this team might stink |
| 11 | Gonzaga | So many teams above them last week lost and they didn't |
| 12 | Marquette | If Terry is not eligible, Shaka is COTY (with Painter and Oats next) |
| 13 | Indiana | TJD this, TJD that (and rightfully so), but Hood-Schifino is the x-factor |
| 14 | Saint Mary's | I really hope LMU wins the WCC |
| 15 | Iowa State | Any word on if the entire NCAA Tournament is being played in Hilton? |
| 16 | Creighton | THEY'RE BAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKK |
| 17 | Kansas State | We need to take those two-tone jerseys and fire them into the sun |
| 18 | Xavier | The powers that be knew all would implode if Sean Miller's team was too good |
| 19 | Miami (FL) | I wish the ACC was better so I knew just how good this team is |
| 20 | UConn | Sanogo in the 3 point contest? |
| 21 | Providence | What religion does a friar fall under? |
| 22 | TCU | They deserve redemption against Northwestern State |
| 23 | San Diego State | I don't fully understand the floor or the ceiling of this team |
| 24 | Florida Atlantic | They answered the bell. Very impressive squad. Getting a Sweet 16 HOOT HOOT would be awesome |
| 25 | Oral Roberts | Still undefeated in Summit play |
Overall Rationale
HM: Illinois, Maryland, NC State, Northwestern, Pitt, Eastern Washington
