Travbowman's Week 15 Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama	Somebody has to be number one in a week where the top two lost
2	Auburn	Still the best resume in the country
3	Duke	It's somehow been 2+ months since they've beaten a kenpom top 30 team
4	Houston	Huge game in Tucson on Saturday
5	Texas A&M	This team is going to find a way to quietly earn a top 2 seed in the big dance
6	Purdue	At Michigan, home for Wisconsin is a big test
7	Tennessee	Rivalry week ahead, with games vs UK, Vandy
8	Florida	Amazing win at Auburn
9	St. John's	Pitino is a coaching wizard
10	Iowa State	Momcilivic being back makes a huge difference
11	Memphis	I have no idea what to do with them each week. They keep winning, but unconvincingly
12	Arizona	This team was under .500 overall less than two months ago. What a turnaround
13	Wisconsin	Their 12 wins vs the top 2 quads is fourth best in the country
14	Michigan State	Nice second half comeback vs Oregon Saturday
15	Kansas	This team could lose in first round, second round, S16, or E8 and I wouldn't be surprised by any of those results
16	Marquette	Scheduled eases up a bit for the next couple of weeks
17	Texas Tech	McCasland is a really good coach
18	Michigan	B1G title still within reach
19	Ole Miss	I still don't know how they won that game at LSU
20	UCLA	Lost five of six, then won seven in a row. Streaky team.
21	Mississippi State	Won an SEC road game last week, which isn't easy
22	Creighton	Team started 7-5, 0-1 (with a blowout loss to Georgetown!) and now are somehow alive for Big East title
23	Louisville	Pat Kelsey is the national coach of the year
24	Kentucky	Pope's first team is eerily similar in style to Cal's last team
25	Gonzaga	Metrics love them. I keep waiting for that to show up in games against good teams
