Mills_Miles's Week 12 Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Purdue
2	UConn
3	North Carolina
4	Tennessee
5	Kentucky
6	Houston
7	Kansas
8	Illinois
9	Oklahoma
10	Arizona
11	Duke
12	Auburn	Finally a dominant win. Nicely done! I now fully expect you to lose to Alabama cause we can't have anything nice
13	Baylor
14	Marquette
15	Wisconsin
16	Creighton
17	BYU
18	Utah State	Ok I'll start talking here. First loss in two months at The Pit isn't too bad. Still the team to beat in the MW
19	Colorado State	Kind of an unceremonious bounce back week. Like most fringe teams, I need to see some away wins to be satisfied. Two this week with a free falling Nevada and presumably easy Wyoming
20	TCU	Somehow didn't drop in my rankings despite two losses. Poll stagnancy from B12 being the best conference? I feel like this happens every year but not sure who goes higher
21	Texas Tech	We've reached the point of the season where after scheduling a weak non-con, all these Big 12 teams remind us that they ARE amazing. Seriously, I feel like I have to rank the conference, then the rest
22	Florida Atlantic	This team can beat anyone. This team can lose to anyone. Preseason hype might be leading my conviction, but I think they can tear through a respectable AAC before losing to Temple? for some reason?
23	Seton Hall	Fuckin why not. That was the best game I've watched this season. (We need a New Jersey team to beat Purdue)
24	Ole Miss	I won't overreact to the decimation given that most other team's "bad loss" isn't too a consensus top 15 team
25	Iowa State	As long as we can agree the analytics only love them cause they beat up the Q4 teams I'm fine putting them here. As the 7th Big 12 team. Jesus.

Overall Rationale

Others considered: Kansas State, San Diego State. And to a lesser extent: Memphis, Cincy, Boise State, New Mexico, Dayton
