Ted_Lavie's Week 11 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | 0 - Imagine losing by 16 in Nebraska and still keeping #1. Crazy week |
| 2 | UConn | +2 - Congrats on not losing this week |
| 3 | Kansas | -1 - Losing at UCF is not top 3 worthy. But they bounced back nicely against OU |
| 4 | North Carolina | +1 - Solid week for UNC. I think they're firmly a top 2 seed right now |
| 5 | Tennessee | +1 - Went 1-1 in two tough road games against possible tourney teams. Can't win all of those. |
| 6 | Houston | -3 - I still think Houston is a very good team. But they're 1-2 in B12 play and their best win is over Dayton or Utah |
| 7 | Arizona | +1 - I suppose they had a better week than Marquette? |
| 8 | Wisconsin | +8 - I've been impressed by their week and their overall play in the B10. They seem to have found their groove |
| 9 | Kentucky | +3 - You can't win every conference game and there are worst things than losing in OT in College St. But their defense is worrying |
| 10 | Marquette | -3 - We saw last year that a slump in January to open conference play isn't the end of the world. But Marquette needs to fix things |
| 11 | Memphis | -1 - I've been more impressed by UK losing in OT @ TAMU than by Memphis winning in OT against UTSA. They play down to their competition which isn't great in this American |
| 12 | Baylor | +5 - Great home & home week for Baylor. They're starting to answer some of the questions I had on them. |
| 13 | Auburn | +6 - Playing like a top 10 team right now. |
| 14 | Illinois | -5 - Really disappointing against Maryland. I thought Illinois was trending up - now I'm not sure |
| 15 | Oklahoma | -4 - I won't be too alarmed by two losses against what I have as top 25 teams. But I'll keep an eye on OU as I already had my doubts |
| 16 | Clemson | -3 - Keep struggling on D. They do have 3 wins against what I have as top 25 teams OOC, but their ACC play has been subpar so far |
| 17 | BYU | -3 - Got their first B12 win in UCF (not that easy, just ask KU). Similarly to OU, I'm not entirely sold on them just yet |
| 18 | Duke | +4 - I still have a lot of questions left with Duke |
| 19 | Ole Miss | +2 - I think this Ole Miss is getting underrated right now. They haven't had the toughest schedule but they have some decent wins under their belt. |
| 20 | Colorado State | -2 - They've struggled on the road in MWC so far. But this might be the best MWC we've seen in a while so as long as they keep in clean at home and against the bottom MWC teams, they'll be fine |
| 21 | Grand Canyon | -1 - They won in the WAC |
| 22 | South Carolina | -7 - Got smashed by Bama but they did what they needed to in Mizzou even though it wasn't pretty |
| 23 | Alabama | NR - I've been a Bama doubter for a while now. Not anymore. |
| 24 | Dayton | NR - With St Joseph faltering, they can't afford more than a couple of div losses imho |
| 25 | TCU | NR - Went from a play in team to a top 25 one for me. What a week they had. |
Overall Rationale
Missed the cut: Nevada (out), Miss St, SDSU (out), Utah St, Princeton /// Out: Providence
