JazzYotesRSL's Week 11 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 Auburn NC Hoping Broome’s injury isn’t as bad as it looked
2 Iowa State NC It was close, but a conference road win is a conference road win
3Duke +1 Hey this Cooper Flagg guy might be good at basketball
4 Alabama +1 A win at A&M is one of the most impressive results from this week
5 Florida +3 Largest win over an AP #1 team in over 70 years. That’s pretty good
6Marquette +1 I’m still not convinced that Marquette isn’t going to disappear in March yet again, but they keep winning
7 Tennessee -4 Nice recovery against Texas, but man, Tennessee is ready to go back home after that disasterclass against Florida
8 Michigan State +1 Izzo and Sparty look poised for yet another deep run in March
9Houston +1 The Coogs have a pretty solid argument that they’re the team to beat in the Big 12
10Kentucky -4 An impressive road win against Mississippi State helps to reduce the sting of an ugly loss to Georgia
11 Kansas +3 Something has snapped in this team. Their defense is absolutely menacing
12 Texas A&M -1 The Aggies showed some good fight against one of the best teams in the country, and can still make some noise in this insane SEC
13Gonzaga +4 After some brutal close losses in non-con, the Zags look like they’re rounding into form
14 Oregon +2 The Ducks are finding ways to win close games, and the win over Alabama keeps looking better
15Mississippi State -2 The Bulldogs will be kicking themselves for failing to convert after cutting Kentucky’s lead to 1 with less than 2 minutes left
16 UConn -4 UConn is still a very good team, but their chances of a threepeat are looking worse all the time
17 Illinois -2 Illinois certainly missed Jakucionis against SC on Saturday
18 Ole Miss +1 It’s good to get some wins now, because you’ve got Alabama coming up next. Eek.
19 Purdue +2 The Boilermakers have a big matchup with the Ducks next week that could go a long way in deciding the regular season B1G champ
20Michigan NR They beat UCLA so badly the coach attacked his own players in the press conference. That’s impressive
21 Memphis +1 Will they blow out a clearly outmatched AAC opponent, or almost get upset? You never know with the Tigers!
22 Utah State +3 Utah State will eventually win a game without it being a heart attack-inducing affair. Just not today.
23 Baylor +1 Two much-needed conference wins for the Bears this week
24 St. John's NR Can the Red Storm win the Big East over Marquette and UConn? Why not?
25 Georgia NR Two big wins for this team this week. Is Georgia a basketball school now?

Overall Rationale

Next 5 out: Wisconsin, New Mexico, St. Mary’s, Oklahoma, West Virginia Dropped out: SDSU, Oklahoma, West Virginia Watching good teams is so much more fun than watching BYU choke game after game away
