lukedux's Week 18 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |

| 3 | Michigan | (-) Clear top 3 atp |
| 4 | Florida | (+1) The class of the SEC |
| 5 | UConn | (+4) Absolute domination of St John's that looked like vintage UConn |
| 6 | Michigan State | (+5) Overreacting? Maybe. But everyone else lost and they got some impressive wins |
| 7 | Houston | (-3) This team has dropped a lot of chances to prove themselves as elite |
