BirdsBeCool's Week 18 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Houston | +0 - Nothing much really changed between Houston/UConn/Purdue this week. |
| 2 | UConn | +0 - Tbh, I think UConn is the best team, but recent games (and a lack of notable results this week) keep them at 2. |
| 3 | Purdue | +0 - Again, nothing really happened this week. Good job winning? |
| 4 | Arizona | +2 - I'm watching Abbott Elementary while writing this. I give it an 8/10 so far. I've had a few good laughs. |
| 5 | North Carolina | +2 - The janitor - Mr. Johnson - is by far the best character in the show. |
| 6 | Creighton | +3 - Creighton's looking hot coming up on March Madness, they could easily make a deep run. |
| 7 | Tennessee | +5 - Thanks to Tennessee, the Gamecocks now control their own destiny to win the SEC. Thanks, UTjr! |
| 8 | Iowa State | +0 - Did you know that the average fan age at Clemson baseball games is 68? I was at the SC-Clemson game today, and it definitely felt like that. |
| 9 | Baylor | +6 - Baylor has two Subway stores on either side of their campus. u/ItsTheTenthDoctor has been really into Subways recently, and I thought they'd appreciate that bit of info. |
| 10 | Marquette | -6 - Marquette fell victim to Creighton's hot streak this week, and move down a bit in the rankings. |
| 11 | Duke | -1 - Nothing against Duke here, there just weren't enough teams going down to supplant the teams going up. |
| 12 | Kansas | -7 - What the actual hell was that lol. |
| 13 | Kentucky | +0 - I made a killer fry sauce this evening. It was some combo of mayo, ketchup, mustard, Sriracha, Old Bay, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Idk the proportions, just try it until it works. |
| 14 | South Carolina | +2 - It would be really hilarious if SC recreated their 2017 run and went to the final four only to have it stopped in its tracks by a 1 seed. That 1 seed would probably be UConn. |
| 15 | Illinois | -1 - See: Duke |
| 16 | Auburn | -5 - Don't lose to Tennessee, I guess. |
| 17 | BYU | +4 - Nice job beating Kansas! |
| 18 | Gonzaga | +1 - Gonzaga is better than Saint Mary's and you're all too cowardly to admit it. |
| 19 | Alabama | -2 - See: your buddy near the GA border |
| 20 | Washington State | +0 - I should start a company where I sell dog athletic wear. |
| 21 | South Florida | +1 - I think that it could probably sell some good stuff. |
| 22 | Nevada | +2 - I think Nevada did better than Utah State. |
| 23 | Utah State | +0 - Anyways, the dog clothes could maybe have some technology to adjust for different temperatures. |
| 24 | Saint Mary's | -6 - Gonzaga beat you lol |
| 25 | Appalachian State | NR - While App St might not "deserve" to be ranked, I still did it for the memes. |
