brvheart's Week 12 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 Auburn Two ranked wins without their best player. Incredible week, despite both being close games.
2 Duke ACC is weak, but Duke is good.
3Iowa State Great win against Kansas followed up by a 1/17 3 point shooting performance on the road. Pretty much everyone else in the top 10 lost though.
4 Houston I rarely punish road conference losses. Home conference losses are punished heavily. Road conference wins are greatly rewarded in my poll. Home conference wins are good, but not heavily rewarded.
5 Purdue Two road conference wins.
6Michigan State Two home wins.
7 Wisconsin Two conference wins; one on the road.
8 Illinois Two road games; split them 1-1.
9Alabama Won a big game on the road and also lost by double digits at home???
10Ole Miss Won on the road to Alabama, lost a close one on the road to Mississippi State. Good week.
11 Tennessee Won at home, lost on the road.
12 Mississippi State Lost on the road.
13Texas A&M Lost on the road.
14 Michigan Lost on the road.
15Florida Lost at home
16 West Virginia Lost on the road and beat a top 5 team at home with great defense.

20Oregon Lost at home.
21 Texas Tech
