Mills_Miles's Week 16 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 UConn even if Purdue didn't lose this week, I would have swapped my first place vote. absolute domination against Marquette
2 Purdue
3Houston
4 Kansas I feel like all five of these next teams are a few coin flips to determine who gets the last 1 seed. Excited for next month
5 Tennessee
6Duke
7 Arizona
8 Marquette
9Baylor
10Illinois
11 Iowa State
12 North Carolina
13San Diego State Sure they were still home games, but I was impressed. Move them up way too high
14 Auburn
15Creighton
16 Alabama
17 Kentucky
18 BYU
19 Florida Atlantic Deadass, I saw they were down by 20 and turned the game on cause I just knew some comeback would happen. All losses are close losses, but they can ill afford another for March
20TCU
21 Utah State
22 Saint Mary's Some respect on the WCC can make me forgive the lackluster start. A win at Gonzaga can still look good
23 Gonzaga Look what you've done, Kentucky. They play the top of the WCC to end the season soon, so we'll have a more certain gauge very soon if this play is sustainable
24 South Florida ...am I tweaking? I don't see this being maintained, especially after nearly choking to FAU, but they are on an absolute tear right now
25 South Carolina It's the hope that kills you

Overall Rationale

Others considered: Oklahoma, Colorado State, and Dayton (yes, I finally have them Top 30)
