brvheart's Week 17 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 Houston The top team in the Big 12 is the top team in the country. OT or not @ Baylor.
2 Purdue Barely beat an 8 win Michigan team. Juwan Howard is gone after this season, right?
3UConn Embarrassing blowout loss to a team that then immediately lost by 15 to a 12 loss St. John’s; but it was on the road to a top 30 RPI team. Hopefully it makes them a better team for March.
4 Iowa State Single digit road loss in the BiG 12 doesn’t hurt you ever. If it’s Houston it might even help you. Iowa State played well in a hostile environment and nobody wants them in March.
5 Tennessee Barely beat an 8 win Missouri team this week.
6Auburn
7 Marquette
8 Kansas
9North Carolina
10Arizona
11 Saint Mary's
12 Baylor They should have won both of their games, but they faltered @ BYU in the late 2nd half, and couldn’t close out Houston at home. They played well in both games though, and everyone lost this week.
13Illinois
14 Duke
15South Carolina
16 Kentucky
17 Alabama
18 Gonzaga
19 Creighton
20Dayton
21 Texas Tech
22 TCU Only lost by 1 @ Texas Tech.
23 BYU
24 Utah State
25 San Diego State
