RagingLasagna's Week 9 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | New Year's Resolution: Make a Final Four |
| 2 | Kansas | What do we think Mark Mangino is doing these days? |
| 3 | Houston | I think if they are still undefeated after 2 weeks of conference play, I will rank them #1 |
| 4 | Tennessee | I know I say it every week, I hate this as much as everyone else but they're not doing anything that warrants much else |
| 5 | UConn | I just wanna shoutout Donyell Marshall. One of my favorite Cavaliers of all time |
| 6 | Marquette | Good win, let's get back on track. That video of Shaka essentially playing defense on the court is extremely incriminating, though. Let's get that under control |
| 7 | Illinois | |
| 8 | Kentucky | They dropped bc Cal once hired Tony Barbee as an assistant since he played under him at UMass and now Coach Barbee is terrorizing my beloved Chippewas |
| 9 | Arizona | Truly baffling you lose to Jerod Haase nowadays |
| 10 | North Carolina | One spot behind Caleb Love. Would be an awesome Elite 8 game |
| 11 | Memphis | Tell your kids about top 11 Memphis |
| 12 | Clemson | Do we think Dabo is gonna start giving pre-game speeches since football season is over? "Jesus would dive for loose ball" |
| 13 | Duke | Inching ever so close to the Heels #ScheyerOnTheProwl |
| 14 | Baylor | "Not to be confused with Canadian reality television personality Drew Scott" - Scott Drew's wiki page |
| 15 | Oklahoma | Only team I ranked this week without a Quad 1 win. Beware Sooners |
| 16 | Colorado State | Mountain West is legitimately going to be one of the most fun conferences to watch this year |
| 17 | James Madison | DUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKEEEEESSSSSS |
| 18 | Florida Atlantic | Hey siri, what's the weirdest college basketball resume to ever exist |
| 19 | Wisconsin | Did Bo Ryan invent the Jamie Dixon hairstyle? |
| 20 | Ole Miss | "Officer, I can't win any more!!" |
| 21 | Utah | It has come to my attention that BYU's lone loss is to the Utes ?? Who have only lost to Houston and St. John's before Thanksgiving ?? |
| 22 | BYU | And for those reasons, it only makes sense to rank Utah ahead of Mark Pope |
| 23 | Creighton | THEY'RE DOING THE THING AGAIN (losing games as an obviously good team, chalk up another Elite 8) |
| 24 | Texas A&M | #24 for how many millions of USD they owe John James Fisher Jr. a year |
| 25 | Providence | Only ranked team that is not a university. How bout that |
Overall Rationale
HM: Nevada, San Diego State, Princeton, Auburn, Texas
