bh6891's Week 17 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 Houston Made it an easy choice this week.
2 Purdue
3UConn
4 Kansas Very little separation from here to #9. I'll reward the team that has a winning record against the top ten including 3-0 against my top 5.
5 Tennessee
6Marquette
7 North Carolina
8 Arizona
9Iowa State
10Auburn
11 Alabama
12 Saint Mary's This is a very generous ranking, but they are arguably the hottest team in the country.
13Creighton I was going to make a comment about Dollar Beer Night being OP, but for some reason they did it against Georgetown instead of UConn. Lame.
14 Duke
15Illinois Another big drop off after this spot.
16 South Carolina
17 Baylor
18 Utah State
19 Washington State I guess Tempe is a tougher place to play than Tucson.
20Dayton
21 San Diego State
22 Wisconsin
23 Florida The Alabama loss was arguably the best losing effort of the week.
24 Clemson
25 South Florida Same as Saint Mary's.

Overall Rationale
