TPM_23's Ballot for Week 15 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
(+2) they're not winning the title this year because Duke, but they're a fun bunch to watch |
| 2 |
Tennessee
|
(--) if they can win @Kentucky on Saturday, they get my vote |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
(-2) should've gameplanned for a deluge of 3s |
| 4 |
Kentucky
|
(--) I have two midterms this week, wish me luck |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
(--) these scores remind me of getting big in agar.io and eating everyone spawning in |
| 6 |
Michigan
|
(+1) 22-2: 2+2+2=6 |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
(-1) taking Miami to overtime is like taking your sister to prom, except it's just a basketball with a face drawn on it |
| 8 |
Nevada
|
(--) technically, they beat New Mexico on aggregate, 149-147 |
| 9 |
Houston
|
(+3) they still only have one loss this year, which is crazy at this point in the season |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
(+4) don't kow who else to put here, so I'll just slot in the hot team that can feasibly win out |
| 11 |
Marquette
|
(--) proved their worth against Nova, right after spilling some serious spaghetti against St. John's |
| 12 |
Florida State
|
(+3) if not for a 2-game hiccup, these guys would be pretty highly regarded |
| 13 |
Kansas State
|
(+8) finally, a Big 12 team to put above the masses |
| 14 |
Villanova
|
(-1) I have to respect a 1-point loss on the road in their biggest game in a while |
| 15 |
Michigan State
|
(-6) no Langford, lots of problems; this team doesn't look or feel the same and losing @Illinois is a humongous oof |
| 16 |
Iowa
|
(+4) these rankings are late in part because I threw at least one chair and took a long walk, but I'm not salty, no sir |
| 17 |
Louisville
|
(-1) so close to being ROAD WARRIORS OF THE WEEK |
| 18 |
Virginia Tech
|
(-8) I'm just getting them away from #10 so I don't put them there again |
| 19 |
LSU
|
(+4) SEC seems a bit top-heavy, maybe it's just me |
| 20 |
Kansas
|
(-2) they're just falling slower than they should be in polls, even if they're inevitably coming back and winning the Big 12 again anyway |
| 21 |
Washington
|
(-4) Arizona St. just ruins everyone's fun, don't they? |
| 22 |
Iowa State
|
(-3) at this point they just have to distract Kansas long enough for K-State to run with the title |
| 23 |
Buffalo
|
(NR) back by popular demand |
| 24 |
Wofford
|
(+1) doesn't matter how high I put them: they're here until they lose, because that's how the SoCon do |
| 25 |
Texas Tech
|
(NR) don't disappoint me again -- DROPPED: Wisconsin 22, Cincinnati 24 |
