RagingLasagna's Week 15 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | I don't like that I'm doing this. But Zach Edey banked in a 3 against his rivals to give his team 69 points. That deserves a #1 ranking |
| 2 | UConn | They should've beaten Ed Cooley by more |
| 3 | Houston | I just want to take this time to shoutout University of Houston alum, Paul Wall |
| 4 | Arizona | The crowds at the WM Phoenix Open are tearing down the goodwill the beautiful Arizona people built |
| 5 | Marquette | Tyler Kolek just like me fr (learning slang on Urban Dictionary) |
| 6 | North Carolina | 2nd time ever losing to Clemson in Chapel Hill is not good for the brand. I miss Andrew Platek |
| 7 | Kansas | Maybe should be higher??? But 2-4 on the road and I have received word that the NCAA tournament is not played in Lawrence, KS |
| 8 | Iowa State | I need someone deep within the Iowa State program to surface some pictures of Tyrese Haliburton's college fits bc what is going on |
| 9 | Tennessee | Feel the wrath of Wade Taylor I, II, III and IV |
| 10 | Duke | WELL I'M 2 DAYS INTO COLLEGE AND I'M 3 LECTURES BEHIND |
| 11 | Baylor | A 3 point loss in Allen Fieldhouse is a 4 point win everywhere else |
| 12 | Illinois | Do y'all remember when Matthew Mayer missed a game for caffeine poisoning bc he drank 6 Monsters?? That was peak Big Ten |
| 13 | South Carolina | This feels utterly insane. How did Ohio State lose Meechie Johnson? |
| 14 | Creighton | It's unpopular, I know. I'm so much higher on them than everyone else but there's something in my loins. I feel it. |
| 15 | Auburn | I jumped Bama over Auburn for the H2H so it's only fair if I return the favor |
| 16 | Alabama | The 1st place team in the SEC went 8-5 in the nonconference. Someone please explain that to me like I'm 7 |
| 17 | Dayton | I feel good about 1-16. Starting here it's a mess and if you want to debate all of these teams, I will listen |
| 18 | Wisconsin | They are the only team with 8 losses ranked this week. I probably should've dropped them lower for losing 4 straight, but we all get cold feet around Valentine's Day |
| 19 | Indiana State | This ranking is for the haters and losers (for which there are many) I like teams that win, very important quality for me |
| 20 | Saint Mary's | 12 straight, 11-0 in WCC play |
| 21 | Colorado State | Felt like they were the only MWC team to not lose last week |
| 22 | Utah State | Yes they lost but they stayed put bc teams in front of them had worse losses and I think they're better than the teams behind them |
| 23 | Kentucky | Anyone have a rough estimation of Cal's buyout?? |
| 24 | Virginia | Won 8 in a row and 2nd in the ACC. I don't know if I fully trust them but they're winning games |
| 25 | Yale | Hey guess what, it's post Super Bowl and there are 2 teams still undefeated in conference. Yale is 1 of them so they get my honorary #25 vote for the week |
Overall Rationale
