bh6891's Week 17 Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Houston	Made it an easy choice this week.
2	Purdue
3	UConn
4	Kansas	Very little separation from here to #9. I'll reward the team that has a winning record against the top ten including 3-0 against my top 5.
5	Tennessee
6	Marquette
7	North Carolina
8	Arizona
9	Iowa State
10	Auburn
11	Alabama
12	Saint Mary's	This is a very generous ranking, but they are arguably the hottest team in the country.
13	Creighton	I was going to make a comment about Dollar Beer Night being OP, but for some reason they did it against Georgetown instead of UConn. Lame.
14	Duke
15	Illinois	Another big drop off after this spot.
16	South Carolina
17	Baylor
18	Utah State
19	Washington State	I guess Tempe is a tougher place to play than Tucson.
20	Dayton
21	San Diego State
22	Wisconsin
23	Florida	The Alabama loss was arguably the best losing effort of the week.
24	Clemson
25	South Florida	Same as Saint Mary's.
