Stepkeyt's Week 12 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | (1) Still the best team in my mind |
| 2 | UConn | (2) Still the 2nd best team behind Purdue |
| 3 | North Carolina | (3) still the 3rd best team |
| 4 | Houston | (5) Got back on track this week with their clear top notch D. |
| 5 | Kentucky | (6) Really solid team that puts up numbers and I think in college basketball a top notch offence is huge. |
| 6 | Tennessee | (10) Dalton Knecht dare I say more |
| 7 | Arizona | (7) Im starting to question this team a little bit more but they will hold put for now. |
| 8 | Kansas | (3) Another rough road loss and this team is weird to me they seem like a team thats gonna take a few more road losses. |
| 9 | Auburn | (9) They just keep smacking teams around |
| 10 | Duke | (8) Another home loss this team confuses me just as much as Arizona and Kansas. |
| 11 | Illinois | (14) This team despite an ugly loss to Maryland has rebounded to me |
| 12 | Iowa State | (13) Tough road loss but also a nice road win in my mind is still a good week in a tough Big 12 |

| 23 | Alabama | (22) Still a good team but a tough loss to a really good Tennessee team |
| 24 | San Diego State | (21) Tough loss on the road to a good MWC. |
| 25 | Texas Tech | (NR) Idk they just are here |
Overall Rationale
Dropped Out: #16 Memphis, #25 Princeton, Memphis is exactly what the metrics predict them to and they finally couldn't clutch out these close wins and choked the games both. Princeton is good but I just slide them down a bit still considered. Im considering metrics more but also resume and eye test still very much matter to me.
