RagingLasagna's Week 20 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | UConn | Tell me why they won't repeat |
| 2 | Houston | Did Kelvin tell them to lose on purpose to give them self motivation? |
| 3 | Purdue | I don't even dislike Zach Edey, but he has a better whistle than Jokic |
| 4 | North Carolina | Ultimate chess move to let Keatts get a 2 year extension just so they can beat him 4 more times |
| 5 | Iowa State | Most impressive performance of the weekend. Don't let them get hot |
| 6 | Auburn | I have NO idea why they're a 4 seed |
| 7 | Marquette | Is this the year the Shaka makes his SECOND Sweet 16? |
| 8 | Arizona | The Arizona-UNC matchup dream is alive |
| 9 | Tennessee | Hate to see a first round exit, so you get jumped by 2 conference champs |
| 10 | Illinois | RagingLasagna called the auto bid. Check the tape |
| 11 | Creighton | Still bullish on this squad |
| 12 | Kentucky | Super high ceiling, very low floor |
| 13 | Baylor | Feels like the most benign team here |
| 14 | Duke | Are Duke fans starting to have internal conversations about Scheyer? |
| 15 | Saint Mary's | Randy Bennett deserves to have a deep run |
| 16 | Alabama | Definition of feast or famine. Should have equal odds to lose first round and make Elite Eight |
| 17 | Gonzaga | Openly ranking them top 20 and do not expect them to make the second weekend |
| 18 | South Carolina | Lamont Paris vs. Dan Hurley for Coach of the Year? |
| 19 | Utah State | 6 bid Mountain West should bring world peace |
| 20 | San Diego State | They're making another run. In Dutch we trust |
| 21 | Florida | The Golden boys |
| 22 | Kansas | Are they gonna win a game? |
| 23 | New Mexico | PITINO IN THE TOURNAMENT |
| 24 | Texas Tech | Lots of respect to a first year coach who puts the team in a position to succeed and make a run |
| 25 | James Madison | Bookending this with the two teams that have the most wins in the country |
Overall Rationale
HM: BYU, McNeese State, Drake, Colorado, Dayton
