willweaverrva's Week Post-Season Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Florida | Of all the #1 seeds in the Final Four, Florida was the one I least expected to win the title. |
| 2 | Houston | Houston stumbled out of the gate early on in the season and ended up 35-5 and in the title game, coming oh so close to knocking off Florida. Great season for the Coogs. |
| 3 | Duke | As a VCU fan, I am honor bound to dislike Duke. However, this was probably one of the most fun Duke teams to watch in a really long time. |
| 4 | Auburn | After seeming nearly unstoppable all season long, Auburn lost its consistency as soon as March hit, and Florida proved to be their kryptonite. |
| 5 | Tennessee | |
| 6 | Alabama | |
| 7 | Texas Tech | |
| 8 | Michigan State | |
| 9 | Maryland | |
| 10 | Arizona | New to ballot. |
| 11 | Purdue | New to ballot. |
| 12 | Ole Miss | New to ballot. |
| 13 | BYU | |
| 14 | Arkansas | New to ballot. Arkansas gets some bonus points from me for knocking off a St. John's team that seemed poised for a deep tournament run. |
| 15 | Michigan | |
| 16 | Wisconsin | |
| 17 | Kentucky | |
| 18 | Saint Mary's | |
| 19 | Gonzaga | New to ballot. |
| 20 | St. John's | A rather sad ending to a great season for St. John's. |
| 21 | UConn | New to ballot. |
| 22 | Texas A&M | |
| 23 | Drake | |
| 24 | UCLA | New to ballot. |
| 25 | McNeese | New to ballot. This is basically a respect vote - McNeese was fun to follow this year and I feel like Will Wade completed his redemption arc. Absolute respect for him. |
