Stepkeyt's Week 11 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | (1) Even with a road loss I still think they are the best team |
| 2 | UConn | (4) Very good even with injuries |
| 3 | North Carolina | (7) They keep winning the games on the schedule and they are clearly a top team |
| 4 | Kansas | (3) Weird road loss to UCF but they also beat Oklahoma |
| 5 | Houston | (2) still a good team just some tough road losses against good teams |
| 6 | Kentucky | (6) OT road loss but I think they overall are solid |
| 7 | Arizona | (5) idk about this team they look good but also have some odd losses that stack up. |
| 8 | Duke | (13) They keep winning the games they should be still think arizona is the better team and thats why they arent higher then them. |
| 9 | Auburn | (14) They just keep dominating teams at the moment and the metrics love them and I agree. |
| 10 | Tennessee | (8) Tough road loss but against a solid team. |
| 11 | Wisconsin | (15) They look the part of a good team but I also dont know if they are a top 10 team. |
| 12 | Baylor | (16) Two home wins look nice but can they win some road big 12 games |
| 13 | Iowa State | (21) Metrics love them and to me they finally got the win I was looking to see out of this team and not just beating up on some weaker competition to move them up to match more with the metrics. |
| 14 | Illinois | (11) No clue what happened this weekend but I still wanna see more out of this team they show potential |
| 15 | Oklahoma | (9) Two tough road losses still I think this team has potential but I got see it. |
| 16 | Memphis | (17) metrics hate them but they just keep winning and have some really solid wins |
| 17 | TCU | (NR) Two really big wins this week. |
| 18 | Marquette | (10) This team seems to have hit a rough spot at the moment. the question is can they rebound with a tough week next week? |
| 19 | Creighton | (19) I still don't know about this team |
| 20 | Utah State | (22) wtf was that ending against UNLV |
| 21 | San Diego State | (14) No easy road games in the MWC I think this team will be able to rebound. |
| 22 | Alabama | (NR) Metrics love them and they got a really solid road win. |
| 23 | Dayton | (NR) They have solid wins so far and the metrics seem to agree they are at the end of the top 25 |
| 24 | Colorado State | (18) The MWC is a tough conference and I think this team will turn it around |
| 25 | Princeton | (NR) This was the hardest spot for me so many teams that could be here in my mind ill go with princeton for this week but they could take a step back depending on what happens. |
Overall Rationale
Dropped Out:#19 BYU, #23 Nevada, #24 Clemson, #25 South Carolina. BYU seems like they can only win against weaker competition and don't have too many quality wins; Nevada suffered a loss in the MWC gauntlet, Clemson is struggling in a pretty weak ACC, and South Carolina lost. I think conference play has shown some teams to have look good outside of conference against weaker opponents but has also allowed teams who may have not looked good to pick up some wins
