TheRealHenryG's Week 17 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | Really neck and neck with UConn, gave them the edge because they accrued better wins on neutrals (teams were tied for resume metrics and resume road wins) |
| 2 | UConn | |
| 3 | Houston | |
| 4 | Arizona | |
| 5 | Iowa State | Finish the regular season -4 on head to head point differential to Houston. Not bad at all. |
| 6 | North Carolina | |
| 7 | Tennessee | |
| 8 | Kansas | Nic Timberlake season has arrived. |
| 9 | Alabama | |
| 10 | Baylor | Great second half against Houston. |
| 11 | Marquette | Great response to the UConn pummeling. |
| 12 | San Diego State | Seem to be dominant anywhere except home floors at altitude. No idea what to make of them. |
| 13 | Illinois | Even my resume metrics think they should be in the 12-14 range. |
| 14 | Kentucky | Two wins against KenPom top ten outweigh LSU loss for me. UK can play with anyone. |
| 15 | TCU | 5th(!) in my resume metrics. Watch out for the frogs. |
| 16 | Auburn | Have yet to do ANYTHING away from The Jungle. |
| 17 | Duke | |
| 18 | Creighton | |
| 19 | Saint Mary's | My resume metrics still hate them, but they seem to be rounding into the Gaels of old. |
| 20 | Dayton | Bad on my resume metric, but still strong on predictives + eye test. |
| 21 | Florida | |
| 22 | Colorado State | |
| 23 | Texas Tech | |
| 24 | Mississippi State | |
| 25 | Utah State | Don't pass the eye test for me and poor predictives but strong on resume metrics |
Overall Rationale
26-30: Washington State, Texas, Oklahoma, BYU, New Mexico
