IndigoExpress13's Week 17 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Duke | Amazing win against #1 Michigan (+1) |
| 2 | Arizona | Great win against Houston (+2) |
| 3 | Michigan | Lost to Duke (-2) |
| 4 | Iowa State | Important win vs Houston, but lost at BYU, but for now I find it hard to put Houston above, things may change (+2) |
| 5 | Houston | Lost two big games this week @ Iowa State and vs Arizona (-2) |
| 6 | Florida | Won both games, other teams around them did not, will be tested next week to see if this is deserved (+4) |
| 7 | UConn | 2nd loss in the big east, this one at home (-2) |
| 8 | Purdue | Very dominant game vs Indiana, but home loss to Michigan by double digits (-1) |
| 9 | Illinois | Loss to UCLA they did not need, but a dominant win over USC (-1) |
| 10 | Gonzaga | Won both games that they should never lose in the first place (+1) |
| 11 | Nebraska | That Iowa loss was very much not needed for the cornhuskers (-2) |
| 12 | Virginia | Hard to gauge with all of the losses in the top, but won both games that needed to be won, next week vs Duke will likely affect things (+2) |
| 13 | Michigan State | As mentioned, the losses in this area elevate the winners of the week for now, can change (+2) |
| 14 | St. John's | Won games that needed to be won, dominant win over Creighton (+3) |
| 15 | Texas Tech | Very weird with the Toppin injury, bad loss to Arizona St, but reasonable given circumstances, the KState win was very dominant however (-2) |
| 16 | Kansas | Horrific loss to Cincinnati (-4) |
| 17 | Alabama | Might be high on Bama, but their win vs Arkansas was very good for them, have been on a good winstreak since Florida game (+6) |
| 18 | BYU | Have been struggling, but the Iowa state win shows they still have some fight in them, very questionable team (+6) |
| 19 | Arkansas | Still look like a top SEC team, OT loss to Bama won't hurt them too much, if they can win vs Florida will help boost them (-) |
| 20 | Miami (OH) | Still undefeated (+1) |
| 21 | Tennessee | Big win vs Vandy (UR) |
| 22 | Vanderbilt | Have been seriously struggling lately (-6) |
| 23 | Saint Louis | Loss to Rhode Island (-5) |
| 24 | North Carolina | Wilson injury sucks for UNC, the loss to NCState was horrible, will have to see how they manage without (-4) |
| 25 | Saint Mary's |
Overall Rationale
First attempt at making a poll, may be a bit odd seeming especially towards bottom
