Travbowman's Week 15 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | UConn | Just keep winning |
| 2 | Purdue | 3Dey was amazing |
| 3 | Houston | Leading the best conference, headed for a 1 seed |
| 4 | Arizona | Two huge road wins. Path the rest of the way is much easier |
| 5 | North Carolina | Teams four through eight look really similar |
| 6 | Marquette | Saturday's match with UConn looms large |
| 7 | Kansas | Can they win a road game? |
| 8 | Tennessee | This should be a "get right" week |
| 9 | Iowa State | Big jump for the Cyclones. |
| 10 | Wisconsin | Probably should open the parachute soon to stop the free fall |
| 11 | Auburn | Big win plus big loss this week equals I had no idea what to do with them |
| 12 | Alabama | I guess this is where they belong? |
| 13 | Dayton | I'm higher than most on UD. |
| 14 | Baylor | Losing at Kansas isn't bad. But doing it when KU was down their top player isn't ideal |
| 15 | Creighton | Feels like they're missing something this year |
| 16 | Illinois | Next five are very winnable before finishing the season with three really tough games |
| 17 | Duke | They "are" good. They just haven't done a ton of proving it against top teams (just three wins vs the Kenpom top 50) |
| 18 | Utah State | Had to drop them a little |
| 19 | San Diego State | Huge week against CSU and UNM this week |
| 20 | South Carolina | Raise your hand if you thought the Gamecocks would be fighting for a top 4 or 5 seed in the NCAA tournament this year |
| 21 | Colorado State | Big week ahead against USU and SDSU |
| 22 | Oklahoma | Survivor of the week in the Big 12 gauntlet |
| 23 | Clemson | Brownell righting the ship just in time |
| 24 | Saint Mary's | Definitely didn't see this coming after the 3-5 start |
| 25 | Indiana State | These dudes can really shoot |
Overall Rationale
Just missed: BYU, Florida Atlantic, Texas Tech, Kentucky, UVA
