DCProf's Week 10 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kansas | #1 BPI Strength of record. Most Q1 wins in country (6). Hasn't lost since November. |
| 2 | Purdue | #2 BPI Strength of record. 2nd most Q1 wins in country (5). Only loss to red hot Rutgers. |
| 3 | Alabama | #3 BPI Strength of record. Win at Houston is tie breaker to be ranked above Cougars. |
| 4 | Houston | Only 2-1 against Q1, 9 wins against Q4. Good team but not much to point to on resume. |
| 5 | UConn | Lost 2 of last 3 but still 5-2 against Q1, #4 BPI Strength of record. |
| 6 | Arizona | Bad loss to WSU, but beat Tennessee head-to-head who has their own bad loss to Colorado |
| 7 | Tennessee | Only team to beat Kansas. Loses at Arizona and to Colorado |
| 8 | Kansas State | #5 BPI strength of record. Only loss to Butler in November. |
| 9 | Texas | 4-2 against Q1 opponents with blow out win over Gonzaga. Only loses to KSU & Illinois in OT |
| 10 | Gonzaga | Wins over UK, Alabama, & Xavier. Loses to Purdue, Baylor, & Texas. |
| 11 | Iowa State | 4-2 against Q1, #10 in BPI Strength of record. |
| 12 | UCLA | Good computer numbers but continues to not impress me. Weak schedule. Only 2-2 against Q1, 2-0 against Q2. |
| 13 | Miami (FL) | Tied for 2nd best record against Q1 opponents (5-1). Wins over Rutgers & UVA. But losses to Maryland & Georgia Tech |
| 14 | Xavier | Hasn't lost since November. Wins over UCONN, WVU, Florida. Losses to Gonzaga, Duke, & Indiana |
| 15 | TCU | Split with Baylor/Iowa State sees Horned Frogs hold steady in rankings |
| 16 | Providence | Hasn't lost since November. Wins over UCONN & Marquette, only losses to TCU, Miami, & SLU. |
| 17 | Arkansas | Resume a little shaky compared to other ranked teams, but talent is there for Final Four run. |
| 18 | Missouri | Blew double digit lead to lose at Arkansas but undefeated against schools w/o "Kansas" in name or below Q1. |
| 19 | Virginia | Only 3-3 since mid-December with no wins over top 125 team. |
| 20 | Rutgers | Was on fire before losing to Iowa, but still contending in Big 10. |
| 21 | Wisconsin | Wins over Marquette, Dayton, USC, Iowa, & Maryland. Only losses to Kansas, Wake, & Illinois |
| 22 | Charleston | Longest win streak in the country. #15 BPI strength of record. Only loss was to preseason #1 UNC in a competitive game |
| 23 | Marquette | Only loses to Purdue, Wisconsin, Miss. St, & Providence. Wins over Baylor & Creighton |
| 24 | Baylor | Disappointing season so far, but all 5 loses to teams ranked above them. Several by single possession |
| 25 | Duke | Honestly, only 24 teams deserve to be ranked right now. Put Dukies #25 because of their talent and best collection of wins out of remaining teams but very close with SDSU |
Overall Rationale
Fell out: #16 Indiana, #21 New Mexico, #24 LSU. Others in consideration: San Diego State, Saint Mary's, Illinois, Auburn.
