BirdsBeCool's Week 16 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | UConn | +0 - And with the win over Marquette and Purdue's loss to... Ohio State? UConn is the bona fide #1 team in college basketball. |
| 2 | Houston | +1 - Solid wins over Texas and Cincy, I think that Houston is the #2 team. |
| 3 | Purdue | -1 - What was that. Like actually, what the hell was that. |
| 4 | Arizona | +3 - Arizona is a great basketball team right now, and I don't think there's much to elaborate upon here. |
| 5 | Duke | +3 - Duke is playing well, hopefully they won't get bounced in the 2nd round of March Madness like 2017. |
| 6 | Marquette | +0 - What are you meant to do when you play the team that's probably going to win the tournament? I can't fault Marquette for losing to UConn. |
| 7 | Kansas | -3 - I don't think you were supposed to lose to Texas Tech. |
| 8 | Iowa State | +3 - I kinda just put Iowa State at #8 because I felt like they should be there. |
| 9 | North Carolina | -3 - 😐 |
| 10 | Baylor | +0 - I just realized that you can put emojis in these. |
| 11 | Illinois | +1 - Good job winning, I guess? |
| 12 | Auburn | +1 - Auburn beat South Carolina by 40, who beat Kentucky by 17, who beat Auburn by 11. Numbers are weird. |
| 13 | Tennessee | +1 - Note to self: Do not say "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA Y'ALL LOST TO A&M HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA" if you want your team to win. |
| 14 | Creighton | +2 - I'm scared to watch the massacre that's happening tomorrow. Good luck against UConn. |
| 15 | Kentucky | +9 - WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE NORMAL AND CHOOSE BETWEEN WINNING AGAINST GOOD TEAMS OR LOSING A BUNCH? |
| 16 | Alabama | +6 - 👍 |
| 17 | South Carolina | -8 - No comment. |
| 18 | Saint Mary's | +1 - 👍? |
| 19 | Gonzaga | +4 - Yell at me all you want, Gonzaga is a top 20 team. |
| 20 | Florida Atlantic | -3 - See: Kentucky, but you're on the other end of it. |
| 21 | Michigan State | +4 - 👍. |
| 22 | Dayton | NR - See: FAU |
| 23 | San Diego State | NR - I really like the fact that I can use emojis on this.👍👍👍 |
| 24 | Washington State | NR - I feel as though Wazzu is a good team, and they should bear the weight of a number this week. |
| 25 | Texas Tech | NR - And right when I look away, you beat Kansas. See: Kentucky |
