RagingLasagna's Week 18 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Houston | Kelvin Sampson has a career win percentage of 77% holy shit can we get this man a national championship (Indiana fans don't read this) |
| 2 | UConn | Blew my mind they hadn't won a Big East regular season title since 1999 (who even remembers the AAC stint) |
| 3 | Purdue | "If it's true there is no longer a place in the NBA for him (Edey) I am officially disgusted with the hostile takeover of the three" - Bob Ryan on 2/19/23 |
| 4 | Tennessee | With the week they just had I contemplated jumping them over Purdue but I think the top 3 have a little distance |
| 5 | Arizona | I can't believe Wayne Tinkle beat this team |
| 6 | Iowa State | Would be a real shame if something happened in the last week of the regular season and Iowa State stole the Big 12 title from Houston |
| 7 | North Carolina | Kevin Keatts is still a winner, don't let the results tell you differently numbers lie all the time |
| 8 | Marquette | I cannot knock them too much for losing a game to a top 3 conference team without having their 2 best players |
| 9 | Creighton | Cr9on (this doesn't quite work as well does it) |
| 10 | Duke | Okay rank these comebacks: Tiger Woods, Demar Hamlin, Kyle Filipowski |
| 11 | Baylor | Chip and Joanna Gaines are frauds |
| 12 | Illinois | I sympathize with Illini fans bc I wanted that 2021 team to win so badly and Sister Jean and Krutwig made me lose faith in humanity |
| 13 | Alabama | They lost to Tennessee by 1 less point than Auburn |
| 14 | Auburn | Average margin of victory is 22.1 ppg (one Quad 1 win by the way) |
| 15 | Kentucky | Kentucky play defense challenge |
| 16 | Kansas | IS BILL SELF ON THE HOT SEAT??? NEXT ON FIRST TAKE |
| 17 | South Carolina | Long live Sindarious Thornwell |
| 18 | San Diego State | I would like to introduce the west coast gauntlet section of the RagingLasagna rankings this week |
| 19 | Gonzaga | Stinky all year long and now they're like reverse punking us |
| 20 | Washington State | Currently 23-7. The last time they won 25 games I was in 2nd grade |
| 21 | Saint Mary's | If there was a fraud detector it'd be beeping right now. Not bc there is a full blown fraud, just bc the batteries are dead |
| 22 | Utah State | I just want to shout out the state of Utah right here |
| 23 | BYU | Congrats BYU you have successfully gone 2-0 in a week to climb above .500 in conference and I can rank you again |
| 24 | South Florida | Central Michigan beat this team lol |
| 25 | Dayton | Alright Flyers, this is your last chance. I have been more than generous |
Overall Rationale
HM: Boise State, Florida, Indiana State, Clemson, Nevada
