JazzyJonah13's Week 17 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Duke | +1 Hallelujah |
| 2 | Michigan | -1 Hell of a team. Probably still the favorite to win it all but I don't think you can reasonably put them above Duke right now. |
| 3 | Arizona | +1 They're actually really close to Michigan's level, I should mention. @Houston is NOT an easy matchup |
| 4 | Houston | -1 They lost twice, but they were both super quality losses and they put up an amazing fight in both. |
| 5 | Iowa State | +5 I think I had them really low, so just updating that. They lost to a not super stellar BYU team, but they also beat Houston. I don't really know how good this team is but I'm pretty confident top 5 |
| 6 | Michigan State | +3 Man these guys hate UCLA |
| 7 | Gonzaga | -1 I think I've been overrating this team, so I'll slowly be pushing other teams above them as they actually get quality wins the Zags aren't getting. |
| 8 | Florida | +4 All of the teams between Florida and the Zags lost, and I think I can justify putting Florida here with how they've been playing. |
| 9 | Texas Tech | -2 Man JT Toppin injury SUCKS. However, They've demonstrated they've still got fight in them against Kansas State! |
| 10 | Kansas | -2 I think this team is worse with Derryn Peterson |
| 11 | UConn | -6 Losing at home to Creighton is just not it. |
| 12 | Purdue | -1 Had a pretty brutal home loss to Michigan, and Mackley was insane. This team's not great |
| 13 | Virginia | +3 Teams around them lost a bunch |
| 14 | Arkansas | -1 Alabama is a pretty tough team, and playing on the road in double over time with huge foul trouble, largley not your fault, is just about impossible. |
| 15 | BYU | +3 Amazing win against Iowa State! I thought this team was giga cooked. Splitting this week was a good outcome. |
| 16 | Illinois | -2 I think I had them pretty low previously, but I think I was sort of justified. |
| 17 | Tennessee | +3 I think I overrate this team but they've got some good wins! I think they have sweet 16 potential. |
| 18 | Nebraska | -3 Iowa ruining dreams... |
| 19 | Louisville | -2 SMU has some pretty good home wins, but still, not great from the Cardinals. |
| 20 | St. John's | +4 Teams around them just kept losing |
| 21 | NC State | +5 They absolutely DESTROYED UNC. Not a quality win given that UNC is garbage, but still, tehy're pretty good! |
| 22 | Saint Louis | -1 I still think this team can make a run. Winning against VCU is not a bad stat either. Just RI has lost to Loyola Chicago in that same stadium. |
| 23 | Alabama | +3 Not as good as Arkansas, but really not bad either. |
| 24 | Miami (FL) | +2 The Miamis are together! How cute. |
| 25 | Miami (OH) | Fun fact: Miami is tied with Duke for the longest active home winning streak of 30 games! |
Overall Rationale
Kentucky -7 I suppose this was to be expected heh. Wisconsin -4 I mean Ohio State ain't bad, this team is just way too inconsistent to be considered elite. Vanderbilt -3 yeah this team kinda overrated. Once they had their first loss they just kept flowing. SS: 1-3, (no S tier), A: 4-5, B: 6-10, C: 11-16, D: 17-25
