Travbowman's Week 16 Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Michigan	Best resume and best metrics. Should be an incredibly tough week ahead for them.
2	Duke	Love this late-season out of conference match vs number 1
3	Arizona	Two losses in one week is bad, but both were close, and both to top 20 teams. Not time to panic
4	Houston	Monday night in Ames is must see tv. Saturday at Fertitta is as well
5	UConn	At Nova Saturday could be interesting. Rest of Big East schedule doesn't seem to really compare to the talent in Storrs
6	Iowa State	Insane week, getting Houston and at BYU just five days apart, right after playing Kansas at home
7	Purdue	Finished their road trip in strong fashion. Only to find Michigan and Indiana waiting at home
8	Kansas	Good week to get things right again after an ugly trip to ISU
9	Illinois	Trip to LA is not going to be easy
10	Nebraska	We're in late February and Nebraska is still a top 10 team. Crazy times.
11	Florida	Class of SEC again. Strangely they haven't won the regular season title since 2014
12	Michigan State	Rough stretch lately for Sparty. Izzo will get them ready for March
13	Gonzaga	Feels like a 4 seed opening in Portland with a S16 in the West almost no matter what
14	Vanderbilt	At bubble Mizzou and home for Tennessee is a big test this week
15	Texas Tech	At Zona, and Neutral over Duke are two of the biggest wins of the season
16	Virginia	Quietly staying in the top 16 protected seed conversation
17	North Carolina	Two interesting road trips this week
18	Arkansas	Cal has them positioned well for a 4/5 seed
19	St. John's	Should be a two win week for them
20	Alabama	Wednesday's clash with Arkansas will be filled with fireworks
21	BYU	injuries suck
22	Saint Louis	Friday night against VCU for A-10 supremacy
23	Louisville	disappointing season vs preseason expectations. Time still to turn it around?
24	Tennessee	Metrics always love these guys
25	Miami (OH)	Should win 30 games. What a season!
