ayushg3's Week 15 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alabama | Tough decision at 1-2-3, I understand any permutations |
| 2 | Houston | I still think Bama is ever so slightly better, this week's performances, especially against Memphis may make things clearer |
| 3 | Purdue | Those last two minutes against NW stuck out, they threw all the bodies at Edey and he didn't have any outs |
| 4 | Kansas | Huge week with two big wins |
| 5 | Texas | Not going to punish a close loss, bounced back with a trouncing of WVU |
| 6 | UCLA | Decent wins for a solid team |
| 7 | Virginia | Can we pencil in a loss? Still a good win over NC State |
| 8 | Arizona | Disappointing loss to a team that is probably better than its record says |
| 9 | Baylor | Impressive week, scary close against an undermanned TCU though |
| 10 | Creighton | My dark horse for the 'chip is slowly looking more and more like a favorite, I don't think I'm overrating them, they really are that good |
| 11 | Tennessee | Two unlucky losses, but those games were way closer than they should have been anyway (-10 and -12.5 respectively) |
| 12 | Gonzaga | All these losses result in a normal week leading to a big jump |
| 13 | Marquette | Porous defensive showing against UConn |
| 14 | Indiana | Another team benefitting from this chaotic week |
| 15 | Kansas State | I think I am still higher than others on TTU leading to small drop for this team who, at the end of the day, lost a Big 12 game on the road |
| 16 | Xavier | Shocking narrow loss, don't think it means too much about this future of this team |
| 17 | Miami (FL) | Made lighter work of Duke than Louisville? |
| 18 | Iowa State | Love this team, but I can't ignore a couple of winnable losses |
| 19 | UConn | Won't punish them on a close loss to Creighton, still grabbed a big win over Marquette, is the Big East the second best conference? |
| 20 | Saint Mary's | Cam. Shelton. What. Ken Pomeroy and Bart Torvik are rolling in their figurative graves |
| 21 | Providence | Still a good team, I don't like their odds against Creighton come Tuesday, but that game can explain a lot |
| 22 | TCU | Unfortunate skid for a team going through an injury bug, still could be dangerous come March |
| 23 | San Diego State | What an odd game against USU, still walked out with 2 wins |
| 24 | Pitt | This team's on a roll, could continue moving up with a relatively easy ACC schedule remaining |
| 25 | NC State | Tough loss against UVA sans Terquavion, good recovery against BC |
Overall Rationale
Just missed the cut (in no particular order): Nevada, Illinois, Texas A&M, Missouri, FAU
