Travbowman's Week 16 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | Felt like they were clearly a step above Bama, another top 5 team |
| 2 | Duke | ACC just isn't challenging them at all |
| 3 | Alabama | No shame in dropping a game to Auburn |
| 4 | Florida | Battling with Tennessee for final 1 seed/placement in Raleigh for first weekend |
| 5 | Tennessee | Only game of the week is a tough one at TAMU |
| 6 | Texas A&M | Committee liked what they've seen so far. Hard to disagree |
| 7 | Houston | It's not easy to win at Arizona like that |
| 8 | Iowa State | Road game at Houston this Saturday will be a battle |
| 9 | Wisconsin | Quieted the Mackey crowd with that performance |
| 10 | Purdue | On the road for MSU and IU this week. Definitely a "prove it" week for Purdue |
| 11 | Michigan | Dusty May is one heck of a coach |
| 12 | Texas Tech | Piling up the big wins to go with the good computer numbers |
| 13 | Arizona | Can't lick wounds from Houston loss too long, trip to Baylor is tonight |
| 14 | St. John's | Nice bounceback win vs Creighton |
| 15 | Kentucky | I have no idea what to do with them. Beating Tennessee is great. Losing like that to Texas...not so much |
| 16 | Kansas | Team has no real offensive identity |
| 17 | Marquette | Kam Jones quietly having an All American season |
| 18 | Michigan State | Insane week: home for Purdue, at Michigan, all before Saturday |
| 19 | Memphis | Can't lose to this year's WSU team like that |
| 20 | Louisville | Pat Kelsey needs a lifetime contract |
| 21 | UCLA | Finally won a game in Eastern Time Zone |
| 22 | Missouri | Every time I move Mizzou into my rankings they fall apart. Sorry, Tigers |
| 23 | Maryland | I'll say it now: Queen should be Freshman of the year in the B1G over Harper, Bailey, Jakucionus |
| 24 | Clemson | Only game of the week is a tough one at SMU |
| 25 | Gonzaga | Finally rounding into form? |
Overall Rationale
Just missed: Mississippi St, Ole Miss, St Mary's, Illinois, Baylor, New Mexico, Creighton
