Travbowman's Week 13 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | Resume could survive a loss and be the best at this point |
| 2 | Arizona | Their last four wins have all been really good ones |
| 3 | Alabama | That trip to Norman was ugly, ngl |
| 4 | Houston | Didn't look great in the weekend win |
| 5 | Kansas | Snapped the losing streak in impressive fashion |
| 6 | Tennessee | Now have two really good wins over Kansas and Texas |
| 7 | UCLA | Loss to USC wasn't a bad one |
| 8 | Gonzaga | Really need a win vs SMC this week to prove they belong with the top ten teams |
| 9 | Kansas State | Small drop after ISU loss |
| 10 | Virginia | Quietly keep winning |
| 11 | Xavier | Still a very good resume |
| 12 | Baylor | Seem to have rebounded from their earlier struggles |
| 13 | Iowa State | Not a good look in the loss at Mizzou |
| 14 | Florida Atlantic | Say it again: send them to Orlando as a protected seed! |
| 15 | Marquette | Big East title hopes? |
| 16 | Saint Mary's | Great metrics but need a marquee win |
| 17 | UConn | Can't figure this team out |
| 18 | Texas | Loss at Tennessee wasn't bad |
| 19 | TCU | Have to figure out perimeter shooting |
| 20 | San Diego State | Class of a good MWC |
| 21 | Providence | In Cooley I trust |
| 22 | Indiana | Putting together a good streak of wins |
| 23 | Memphis | Quietly having a solid season |
| 24 | Illinois | I guess they're back? |
| 25 | Boise State | MWC is deep this year |
